I have faults. By God's Grace I've been sober a long time..not by my doing at all. But I struggle with low grade depression and mild bipolar. Very mild. I am prone to poor choices regarding women and denial about my age. But I can't lie or attack people for simply being different from me. I can see my glaring defects when I am exhibiting them now. Thanks to continuing to take a fearless moral inventory. I can't lie or steal or use and manipulate people any more ...or if/when I begin to do so I cannot allow my disease to grow and fester because it literally and metaphysically means my death ..
I'm not perfect, I've never understood "perfect" my household growing up was rather insane. So by God's Grace and AA I step out grateful daily that I'm not the lost selfish almost monster I was... But as AA has always promised .I know there's More.. I'm truly grateful for the chance, the opportunity, the crisis which create in me a desire to drop my failed broken ways of living life and pick up actually working healthy tools for responding and acting as a agent of Life...
