Newbee Just Saying "HI" - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Dear MJ,
Thanks for your quick response and insight. I find sine if the most intelligent people I know come through the doors of AA.
You know, I use to worry about relapse. That was until I realized a few realities about myself.
The big book says there will come a time that I will have no defense. If that is the case, why worry about it?
I know one thing for certain. If I were to relapse, it will be with the full intent to do so. I will have not excuses, I will have no defense. God gave me this gift of sobriety. If I choose to once again, (To be my own God), it could be nothing more than "MY WILL" that takes me to relapse.
I still believe in personal responsibility.
Great hearing from you and look forward to reading more from you in the future.
Sorry for the laps in time, but I just forget to log in.
God Bless,
RichardS
