I have not used in 5.5 months.
At this morning’s meeting, a guy talked about having 20 years last
August and not being able to stay sober at all now. Another guy had 15 years and now has a
year. Another woman had 5 years that she
has not come closed to be able to get to for the last 10 years. Alcoholism is a cunning baffling and powerful
disease.
My friend Greg planned to come home tonight for the Labor Day weekend
after working all summer in Minneapolis.
We usually talk every day. I had
not heard from him in three days. He was
not at the airport when I went to pick him up (in case he lost his phone and
still made it home). He is undoubtedly
back out and now feeling terrible guilt and shame while stuck in the thrall of
his addiction.
I am grateful for AA meetings where I get to learn about commonality,
losing my terminal uniqueness, there is a solution and how I can live in the solution
one day at a time.
