It takes time

It takes some people a lot longer to heal. 

The long arm...

The long arm of alcohol reaches beyond the drunk and too often takes away the innocent.

When I drank my intentions were never to hurt, harm, lie, cheat or steal.  My intention was my next drink!!  But sometimes the road to that next drink is littered with harm, deceit, anger, abuse and even death.

The attitude

Gratitude is the attitude that leads one away from the bottle. 

Think about it...

Drunkenness kills.  Recovery heals.  Sobriety is a permanent oasis away from the bottle.

Get busy

Get busy living or get busy dying was the only choice I had back when the bottle rendered me hopeless.

A glorious path

I asked God for help and He placed many wonderful people in my path.  And now, he has placed me in yours.

A thought...

An alcoholic who never finds sobriety is like a flower that fails to bloom.
