You Must Learn To Control Your Emotions
When I was going through Detox,
sick as a dog and living at the
Salvation Army, I did not see
any reason to thank my Higher
Power. I had very little tolerance
and patience, in fact I was in full
panic mode and my mind was
racing a mile a minute. I think
I was angry with the world
including my Higher Power. I
was a very bitter person with a
chip on my shoulder. My whole
life didn't make any sense to me.
Why was all this crap happening
to poor me?
As the days went by, and receiving
the help I needed from the people
my Higher Power put in my path,
I overcame that bitterness and put
the blame where it actually belonged,
on me.
Whether I handled those adversities
well or not, I really do not know but
I do know that this veteran alcoholic
is grateful to the Veterans Addiction
program, Alcoholic Anonymous and
to my God.
