Yesterday

I was feeling sorry for myself yesterday. Its ok to do that, because I didn't drink over. I look at it as a correction in my program. Yesterday was a sign telling me that I need to get back on the steps. I watch for signs of weakening in my sobriety and then take action to get back on course. I don't let myself drift too far from the path anymore. I did get off the path and it took over 23 years to get back. I am 42 and do not have the luxury of time. I look at it this way, I have wasted enough of my life chasing something that could never be mine. I chase now what is mine, my god, my sobriety and my family.
