I was reminded of something in the BB, in Dr. Silkworth’s final entry, about the alcoholic whom they had no help for. He pointed out that the man learned what was in the BB and had changed so much, that he was sober and a perfect man. Amazing.
This story reminded me of myself and a lot of others in here, who like myself, were given this miracle of being gifted with sobriety. I often think about a lot of other alcoholics I have met, who had the same kind of problems we did, but who never stopped drinking and never got better. Got worse.
When I think of this I know I’m really not to go there, since I don’t have the power to change them. In fact, I often think of what I was given. I not only had to stop drinking alcohol, I had to give up my prideful ego, my despair, and my total dishonesty. I had to surrender totally, one hundred percent, as it was pointed out in here. My sobriety, is truly a miracle. I never want to forget that.
Anyway, I am so grateful for the peace, the happiness, and the love I have been given in here. I pray and stay sober one day at a time, and work this AA program in here.
