You Become What You Think About
I do my Step 3 in front of 12 other
alcoholic veterans, I get mixed
feedback.
The reality of my drinking is that I
cannot stop on my own or just with
a rehab program. I need something
greater and bigger than myself or for
anything else for that matter. I realized
by doing Steps 1 and 2, that trying to
stay sober my way did not work and
that I needed help big time from God
as I understand him. I am convinced
that I am a mentally sick person, how
else can I explain what I did to myself
and others, I can't. A rehab program
itself, cops, lawyers and doctors can
not keep me from drinking, so I have
no choice but to call on God. I realize
God has me now where he wants me
and is bending my will to conform to
his. I accept this as a fact by simply
not doubting it, because if I doubt it,
I loss faith and losing faith just means
I am back on the road to drinking and
self destruction, so I come to the
conclusion that I have no choice, I
accept God
I am not naive about the fact that there
is a price for everything and that I must
pay that price by having an open mind,
a willingness to accept things as they are
and by trying not to impose my will on
others or by having my own way, all
easier said than done but I am working
on it.
