The alcoholic's mind is like a bad neighborhood, don't go there alone. Gratitude, that's the attitude. When the pain of staying sober becomes less than the pain of getting drunk, you'll stay sober. My worst day sober is better than my best day drunk. The elevator to sobriety is broken, take the steps.
Religion is for people who are afraid they'll go to hell.
Spirituality is for people who have been there. The quality of your recovery is proportional to the quality of your surrender. I'm basically a negative person, that's why I'm so happy. Untreated alcoholism without the steps on a daily basis will make my past my future. An expectation is a premeditated resentment.
