"This may be sacrilege in AA but I loved to drink. I loved everything about it....Life interfered with my drinking."

"God, I have no idea where I'm going. I do not see the road ahead of me and I cannot know for certain where it will end nor do I really know myself.

And the fact that I think I am following Your Will does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe this: I believe the desire to please You does in fact please You and I hope I have that desire in everything I do and I hope I never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know if I do this, You will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it at the time.

Though I seem to be lost, in the very shadow of death, I will not be afraid because I know You will never leave me to face my troubles all alone."
