Get Sober Help: Because I can...

Because I can...

If I only have one day left, just one,I would rather spend it being helpfull to some one else then being totally helpless.
If only have I one hour,Id rather spend it being usefull, than usless.
If only a moment shall pass, Id rather face it fearlessly than a meek shell of a man.
Id rather ... and I can.

What an amazing transformation, from hopless drunk to one that others might get a spark of hope from. From a selfish, self centered arogant and egotistical mess to a guy that finds happiness in the success of others. When I came to discover that true happiness was not
manufactured within... thats when I found true happiness.

I am an alchoholic. I have been for many years. After getting and staying sober for over thirteen years, I began drinking again. After a long bout with alchohol the second time, I again quit drinking and am sober today. I live in Florida, have two daughters, and am about to become a grandfather. I'm 43 years old. I'm currently seperated due to my past actions. I hope my message and yours, should you have one, will eventually reach thousands of folks just like us.

If you need to contact an Alcoholics Anonymous group, If you need to find a meeting in your area, or you have questions about alcoholism, CLICK HERE. Many of the links have 24 hour hotlines available.

It is not my goal to preach at you. Youve heard enough of that. I am not here to make money, friends or to gain fame for myself. I want to help others who have developed this ugly disease we call alchoholism. If you are one of these people, male, female, young, old, of any race, religion or ethnic background, I hope you add this site to your favorites. You can visit here daily, read other folks input, even post your own thoughts. It's up to you, stay in touch, or forget you were ever here. I'll be here either way, and I'll be sober. Will you?

My Father in Heaven
I humbly pray,
be with me Lord
throughout this day.
Your hand be on me
Your strength be great
please keep me sober,
please keep me straight.
Amen

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is YESTERDAY with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. YESTERDAY is gone. The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control. TOMORROW'S sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW, for it is as yet unborn. This leaves only one day - TODAY - Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities YESTERDAY and TOMORROW that we break down. It is not the experience of TODAY that drives people mad - it is remorse or bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.
