Things came slow for me. Character defects that didn’t want to relent! Day-after-day, year-after-year… 🤷♂️ But what else could I do but keep coming back!*
*I remember going thru the steps with Granville and having become painfully aware of some of my more obvious defects-of-character. That being the case, you can imagine… and being told the quality of life, my relationships is directly proportional to the correction of my D.O.C. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT -I REALLY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING!
it didn’t work out that way for me -people weren’t calling me, people weren’t rushing to my aid… showing up at my doorstep to take me to a meeting… Then I realized it’s different for everyone! God gives each of us
My development was stunted in numerous areas -over here I was dealing with a 2 year old; over there, a 5 year old… and this made things extremely difficult to pin down.
We go thru hell so that others don’t have to? 🤷♂️🤷♀️
Its not natural for an Alcoholic, once they crossed a certain threshold to walk around sober; look at our selves; and constantly think of others.
One of the tenements of being an upstanding member in alcoholic anonymous is to obey the laws of society.
