What a journey so far in the life of sobriety.I have made it over 2.5 months now being dry.I have attended many meetings and walk away each time feeling better than before.I was gonna start with a sponsor but they have been out of town.I have gained so much so far,yet so much lies ahead for me.It is amazing to me that since I have learned not to try being GOD,but to let GOD be the one leading.I have felt a new foundation under me building,it has made a difference in how I stand.Even though life has brought me many personel challenges that have been very tough,I remained very dedicated to letting GOD do for me what I need not what I want.This has not been easy considering what has been happening in my life.But rite now I am praying for my life to make a big change for the better.I am praying to GOD to bless me with the same grace in other parts that he has blessed me with in quitting drinking.I could not be more humbled to GOD for being with me during this new journey.As the first few steps saythat we must turn our life over to GOD as it is GOD's plan that we must follow not our own.This clear as it does not mention us in making amends until later in the steps as that is what we need to do.I know that I cannot have thigns my way but I must keep praying and thanking GOD before anything will change.I am filled with love from GOD just waiting to empty my heart all to whom he sends me.I only pray that I can overcome what hurts inside and that GOD has a better plan for me.Until then I am determined by GOD to stay strong and keep going to meetings so I will not fall.Thank You my dear GOD for what you have done and all here who have helped.

As I continue my journey of sobriety,life has made some changes.Do I feel better,yes it is nice to be able to a clear mind.I am glad I am able to do this as some things have changed,yet some things have not.I am so glad to have made thiis move as it has made me better.Yet my personel life has been like a train wreck as things have happened that are beyond my control.I pray to GOD to bless me with a better life not this bitter life.I am at the point in this train wreck of being treated by my gf family like I am jesse james or billie the kid..I have done nothing wrong to this family yet getting assaulted and cussed out badly is wrong.I have started court proceedings on the assault charge against them.I am totaltly baffled by these people and why they want me gone.What hurts the most is that my gf has done very little to make theses people stay away,she says she is afraid of losing them as a family.Yet I am to accept this bs in order to be with her.I think not I have made a choice in my life to quit drinking and I am winning.I have been thinking deeply about this wreck of a relationship due to her family,I am geting more lost by the day.I do love her but have no interest in fighting more for her love when the family is first over me.I have been praying to GOD to please lift me and take me in the direction that is safe for me,whether it be with her or wherever he choses.I cannot continue anymore with my life this way.I have met some wonderful people at AA that have been my support on this new journey.amazing what going to meetings and spending time with others has done for me.I will not fall and will not let these people make me fall.I see life so much differently now ,and want things to be better not bitter anymore.I pray that things improve soon because this stuff has really taken a toll on me.I have no choice at this point in the way things are but to pray for GOD to bring out of this mess.Lord be with me throughout my days,I seek a life living by your word and walking in your steps.Lift my heart and cleanse my soul to lead me to a brighter life than this.I thank you LORD for what you have done in keeping me sober,please show me the light that I need to follow to a better life.Be with us all in everything we do LORD.
