Finally got back to meetings

Hey everybody, I have been under the weather this past week.  I developed an upper respiratory thing with asthma, which kicked my butt big time.  I have been on antibiotics and prednisone since Monday, and not able to get to my meetings.  I am grateful I only missed one day of work as it is. So, today I got to a meeting and it was good.  It was on God as I understand Him.  I was able to realize that I really did not believe that I could get sober, much less change my thinking and behavior way back when.  I was so full of self-doubt and lack of faith it was not real.   Little by little, one day at a time, working the steps, I did change and I did stay sober.  It was a miracle, to say the least.  I especially didn't think I could do it, because I was going through my divorce when I came back in to AA 6 years ago.  I didn't want to feel those feelings of rejection and abandonment, and I certainly did not want to face life on life's terms.   God did the hard part.  I just went to meetings and worked the steps. Have a great weekend. Hugs,  Trish
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
