Short Comings
No more struggles with booze no more struggles
with myself
but AA did not promise me a life free from all
conflicts
When I got here I had to go thru the same
withdrawal as everyone else
staying sober Trying to get my family back not knowing
it was never going to happen because of my
shortcomings
My X-wife had enough of my crap so now I had to
find something to live for
and that was for my two kids I had visiting rights
that where very good
X never tried to keep me from seeing or being with
my kids
That was my first blessing in the struggle to stay
sober
and change my behaviors and shortcomings
I started to become the Dad I should have always
been
I gained the love and respect of my kids back
Also something else the respect of my X wife bye working thru my past
I have made many amends To many people and have
gain respect form them
only
because I became more honest and respectable
But life still goes on and the steps teach us how
to deal with struggles of living life sober
Not everything is peaches and cream it’s easy to
stay sober when everything is going great
But life does thru is a curve ball every now and
then that’s where the teachings of the steps
And the love of God keeps us together in times of tragedy
when the unthinkable happens to us
Or to our family members that’s when the real test
of our sobriety comes
can we overcome tragedy Well if we have practice
the principles of recovery
we can and better than normal people do I think
Its because of the spiritually that the steps
taught us we can get thru these things
And still see the light thru the darkness of the
moment
God
is always with us thru the struggles of life
And we are truly blessed with His unconditional
love
His guidance thru all our struggles
God bless each of you as He has me
