With Time

Thirty-seven years ago, I was a shivering denizen of the mad realm of alcoholism. Today, as I sit here on my back porch enjoying the fire, the birds, and my wonderful wife, I tried to remember what it was like. I just can’t get the same feeling to come back. However, I’ll never forget all the trouble it brought me. Yes, God has allowed the distant past to fade for me, and living in the now is who I am. 

I remember coming into recovery in my early thirties thinking I’m too old for this! THANK GOD I stayed. Like they say, “We’re sicker than we think we are”…amen to that! It’s been a long road coming back with many serious roadblocks over the years. Staying the course is so important because it’s the long term sobriety that we want for you. It’s all about getting closer to that plaque about serenity on Dr. Bob’s desk. Believe it or not, it will happen if you do the work and stay to give it away.
