Maybe you're just a really loveable human and the people around you weren't "placed" there, but your awesomeness drew them in and kept them there.
Give yourself some credit and accept self worth. Thinking that you're being "given" something or "allowed" is self self deprecating. Self deprecation is poison.
Your people love you. Do what it takes to keep them in your life.
Attacking a person for being grateful to God here is passive aggressive. It's ok to see God's assistance. Yes AA and Sobriety can lead us to better tools and living better. But I know when I had cancer several times God intervened through friends, strangers, and actual gifts I would never have gotten otherwise. Believing in drawing things to us magically is very different from knowing God exists and Love's us and can provide actual answers and simple beauty. I am humbly grateful for our sobriety which truly is a gift beyond my powerlessness.

It wasn't an attack. I don't know what you're banging on about. Maybe you need to slow down and try to comprehend what you're reading. I said nothing but pleasant things in my reply to the post.
Relax dude, nobody is attacking your sky daddy.
Gentlemen please no harsh words or feeling. I wanted to give thanks to the way my life is beginning to turn around for the better. You see 5 years ago the people in my world would never let this new sober me come out. I had to give up everything and everyone to get here. I had hurt, pain, and drama as I’m sure you two have. Since then I strive for a more peaceful life path. So I am asking for you to both please step back and breath a moment. I’m sure you are both level headed individuals, and if you stopped the drugs and alcohol then both are very strong inside and out. I thank you both for your kind words. No matter how different your views are I still love you both and appreciate you courage to speak on this post. You both are blessed so let’s just all be thankful we are all in this world to try and do our part. Love you guys.

I hear your words better from here. I was way off. I need to re-read before I respond when I "feel" sometimes. Thank you. I'll be wiping the egg of my face now. I learned a good lesson early.
Feel- then think or Think - measure feelings too.

Don't trip on it man. Obviously I'm not a believer. But if it works for you, thats cool. I just want people to give themselves more credit. This shït is hard work. Especially when you've spent most of your life being a drunken dumba$$. That's my only point. It's okay to be proud of the work we have out in.
You are doing great! Stay strong my brotha
It's funny, at a meeting I would have respected your point. Online I overreacted. Just glad to learn this early. Peace
