Hope for today

Today is hard. Today I am coming to terms with how powerless I and more importantly, my Q is over alcohol. Today I am learning to stop hiding my shame behind am icy “I’m fine” exterior.

Today I am learning how unmanageable my life is. The fact that I can emotionally go there means I have done tons of hard work.

So instead of feeling sorry for myself and convincing myself my story is “different,” I am reaching out in hope and love.

So to that person who is struggling, keep coming back. Keep reading the literature and most importantly, reach out to people you respect at group. Every time I have done so, the person thanks me for doing so. Much love, you got this, one day at a time.
