Many months ago you posted a very similar story. You had picked up a few Zima’s then and were telling everybody that you couldn’t bring yourself to throw them out. It was all a big joke then.

I called you on your noise then. I said something like the day would come when it wasn’t going to be so much fun. You were deeply offended then, get ready to be deeply offended all over again.

That last post was something like eight months ago, and nothing has changed in the interim. You are still sucking down those Zima’s and telling us how conflicted you are.

Not one word about going to AA meetings, not a word about calling your sponsor before you picked up those brews, not a word about asking God for the right thought or action prior to walking in that liquor store. Not a word about working the steps. Just the same old story.

Maybe the things you are doing aren’t what you need to be doing. Eight months and nothing is different, nothing has changed. Honey, you aren’t the producer, you don’t have the power to rewrite your story. Apparently you don’t like what’s going on, yet it goes on in spite of you.

Admitting powerlessness and unmanageability is the first step. You don’t have the power to pass up the liquor store all by your self. You must sense that truth at some level.
