ABC's of Grateful Sobriety

U is for ... unmanagable.

Step 1 --- We admitted we were powerless over (drugs, alcohol, people , places, things,) that our lives had become unmanagable.

Joe McQ makes reference to the insanity in The Steps We Took.

"One thing that makes us insane is self - especially self - will." Another thing he cites for our insanity is "our blindness to reality."

I am grateful to have God's will in me and not to be blind to the reality of life.

Love & God Bless

Z is for... Zeal

When times are trying that is when I zealously emerge myself in my program. Always coming out on the brighter side of things.
