Deb's Story

Hi ((family)))) deb here and I am an alcoholic, and grateful to be here today.

Congrats to all who are celebrating an AA birthday! You/we are all miracles of this wonderful program

I remember months ago a member here asking me how much sobriety I had, and at that time,

I replied with 4 long months, then I asked how much sobriety that member had…

the answer
13 short years. I couldn’t comprehend how 13 years could be short.
But when I was new, there were a lot of things that I truly hadn’t grasped yet.

Simple things like Let go and let God, One day at a time, Easy does it, It works if you work it….

The physical allergy and mental obsession still had me spinning.
With time, and work in the program and turning my will and my life over to my HP who I call God.
The desire to drink has been lifted, and

I am able to handle whatever life/God hands me.
I have the fellowship of AA…friends that help me.
I have this room, where I came and learned about AA and sobriety.
The last few months have flew by…I can hardly believe it has been a year and a few days since my last drink.
I will keep working the program daily, learning from everyones ESH and keep my faith in my God.
I have so much more now than I ever had before.
The promises do come true.

Thanks to God, the program of AA and the fellowship.
Bless you all….and love you all too…thanks for letting me share….GA
