During my early recovery (and I'm talking about the first three or four years). Besides remaining alcohol free I considered it a miracle that I had not killed anyone! My anger during that time period was out of control. Dealing with life on life's terms without the aid of alcohol drove me to the brink of emotional catastrophe.
Daily prayer got me through. The grace of God placed many people in my path who were able to inspire and enlighten me. I soon would discover serenity and hope. That was all I needed to find the composure and confidence to continue on the road to recovery.
