We Do Recover

[MajestyJo]

JUST FOR TODAY!

Baffling

from: "More about Alcoholism"

"But there was always the curious mental phenomenon that parallel with our sound reasoning there inevitably ran some insanely trivial excuse for taking the first drink. Our sound reasoning failed to hold us in check. The insane idea won out. Next day we would ask ourselves, in all earnestness and sincerity, how it could have happened."

When I came into recovery, I knew there was a God and I knew I wasn't insane. After a year in recovery, I didn't know who God was, and realized I was insane. Thus started my spiritual journey, because I was so baffled because I was soooooooo sure!

Insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Cunning, baffling and powerful! A disease the says I don't have it! I believed it! It was all everybody else's fault, problem, disease, there was nothing wrong with me. If only others would do what I told them, then everything would be just fine. We all know what fine means. F.I.N.E. Frustrated, insecure, neurotic, and enjoying it!
