I have to admit some days are harder than others and that’s when I am so grateful I have the program of AA, and the support of my AA friends and family to pull me through those days. Life is like that. I need help and I get it, and then other days my friends and family need help and I am there to help them. It’s not a 50/50 relationship I share with these folks. Some days it’s 60/30, and other days its 80/20. It just depends on what’s going on that particular day. I just know that I couldn’t do life on my own. When the tough times are up I tend to isolate and start listening to the committee in my head which leads me down the wrong pathway and feeds me a bunch of negative bull. Just coming out of that isolation and reaching out to someone else pulls me out and helps me realize things really aren’t quite as bad as I thought. The committee in my head makes me think it’s that bad, but when I chose to talk to people in the spirit of the light instead of the committee in the dark I see that a little action on  my part helps a lot, and I begin to see the positive results of what I thought was bad, and then I realize it really wasn’t all bad. I’m dangerous left alone in my head. Praying, calling another alcoholic, going to a meeting, reading some in the big book, going for a walk to clear my mind are all positive actions that I can take on days like today. Just start with one small action and ask God to take care of the rest….it works…it really does!!
