THE PROMISES OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION:
If we are casual with this phase of our development we will be drunk before we are halfway through
We are going to know a new imprisonment and a new misery
We will relive the past and won't be able to shut the door on it
We will comprehend the word conflict and we will know pain
No matter how far down the scale we have gone we'll sink even lower
That feeling of uselessness and self pity will deepen
We will gain interest in selfish things and lose interest in our fellows
Self esteem will slip away
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will suck
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will multiply
We will intuitively know how to run from situations that never used to bother us
We will suddenly realize that God would never have done to us what we are doing to ourselves
Are these extravagant promises? we think not. They are being fulfilled among those of us who are STILL DRINKING AND DRUGGING .sometimes quickly,sometimes slowly.
They will ALWAYS MATERIALIZE IF WE DRINK FOR THEM......GUARANTEED
Those are true promises if your not done running and gunning. I will always need to practice step one. I really need to keep the first three steps at the fore front of my soul and spirit daily. I don't want to suffer like that again. Life can be hard enough sober, but at least I have a chance at resolving problems.
I will print this. I will read it at my home group and e-mail my sponsor a copy of this. Thanks for posting it!
Have a good sober day!
