Complacency
There was a time in my
recovery that I saw nothing left to go to meetings for
My life was going good I
was getting busy with life and active in other things
Sure was doing great
fantastic job doing what I liked best sober and happy
But of course we had a
need to put first things first we started to stay home
Was trying to help kids
adjust to our new family life and AA became less important
We had to fix our kids
keep them off drugs and that was going to be a full time job
So only contact I had with
recovery was with people at work
I talked to who needed help
But meetings were put
aside I had a few years of sobriety
and was getting bored with
meetings
I complained about every
thing about
how people just stay in
their disease never changing
Well I did soon stop going
to meetings all together
my attitude and character
defects started to return
I became God again started
acting the same as before I stopped drinking
and I was a raving manic
Well I started to return
to my meetings
but this time I became
more active more caring and given
I got into service work
and was reaching out to help others
who were having a hard time
Getting active sure made a
difference to me
I started to do the very same
things I was taught to do
Complacency has no place
in my life today
I needed an attitude
change and meetings gave me that
Happiness is a by product
of how we live and act in the world
we live in and its a big
world
I am busy trying to do
what God intended me to do when
He gave me this gift of
sobriety
God has been good to Sandy
and I
and we in return try to
give back every thing that was given to us
God bless all of you as He
has us
