Got my 18 month chip today from AA. I had my days when I nearly slipped but I didn't. I hung on because I put more thought into what it was I almost wanted to do, and how many people I would hurt by doing it. When I did that it was easy to stay sober because I only want to help people and not hurt them.

It became much easer for me when I took all of my problems and placed them in the hands of my Higher Power. That was when I began getting everything I needed. I have not had a regular full time job for 2 years but, yet, I always have food on my table and my bills always seem to get paid!
All I had to do was allow for the possibility of the existance of a Power much greater then myself and it's been so easy, it scares me because I am not use to having life so easy! I went from a life of hell to a life filled with many blessings!

peace!
