Today I’m Free!

A No-Coincidence Moment…

It wasn’t a “bot” that left the putrid, hate-filled, obscenity in the moderated comments yesterday that questioned my manhood and character assassinated my good soul. It was an idiot with a dark heart. Possibly related to me but I couldn’t tell.

It is my hope that you get the help that you so desperately need “ryan.” I certainly wouldn’t want to live in that brain of yours again or anymore. Been there, done that.

But, you see, my God helps me through moments like your stupidity – today’s Daily Reflection;

Today I’m Free

“This brought me to the good healthy realization that there were plenty of situations left in the world over which I had no personal power – that if I was so ready to admit that to be the case with alcohol, so I must make the same admission with respect to much else. I would have to be still and know that He, not I, was God.”

I am learning to practice acceptance in all circumstances of my life, so that I may enjoy peace of mind. At one time life was a constant battle because I felt I had to go through each day fighting myself, and everyone else. Eventually, this became a losing battle. I ended up getting drunk and crying over my misery. When I began to let go and let God take over my life I began to have peace of mind. Today, I am free. I do not have to fight anybody or anything anymore.

I will quickly remind you though that you might catch me at the wrong moment on the wrong day. I have not found perfection. If you want to believe I am a ******* ***** you go right ahead and keep believing it. Just understand there is a small chance you’re wrong… lol.

    Thank you, Mark, for sharing that. I am so grateful for AA and for folks like you who show me that I don’t have to be that way today – Always fighting myself and fighting others. I CAN learn to do the next right thing.

    I get so frustrated with myself when I allow others to take up so much space in my head for such a long time. But, I get a little better each time, especially when I ask for help ASAP.

    Thank you for sharing that and for giving me hope.
