i'm on my third step right now. learning to let go and let god has been difficult. i was raised religious, but never taught to give over my expectations to the will of a power greater than myself.

it's hard to do in the moment, but so rewarding. i seek through prayer and meditation the will of my greater power for myself.

my life has gotten better in the 4+ months in the program. i'm having an easier time dealing with certain painful circumstances in my life. i lost custody of my two children as a direct result of drinking.

working now on getting my meds straight and just getting to meetings and building a sober network. i know that, when i pray, my life gets better and easier to manage. a day without meditation is really a day lost in some ways, because i'm not fully present to it.

thank you for bringing this up.
