Fear is the most damaging defect of my whole program, it robs me of my spiritual program ,it changes the way I think , it makes me act differant ,and it usally happens when I think I'm going to lose something , or I'm not going to get something I want. It says in the big book that our lives were driven by 100 forms of fear .For me all my decisions were based on fear , if it felt good I wanted more , and if it didn't I ran from it .The more I face my fears and see the results after , the easier I find it to face more of them .

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS .

It's very important to tell our doctors, dentist what ever people that can subscribe any medicine for us , to TELL THEM THAT WE ARE ALCOHOLIC . A friend of mine had 2 teeth pulled and the dentist gave him some pain medicine ,HE BEGAN TAKING IT THEN MORE THAN HE SHOULD AND WHEN HE RAN OUT HE DRANK . I brought this up in a meeting and you wouldn't believe how many stories I heard . we promise to go to any lenght, and pain is that.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS

MADE DIRECT AMENDS TO SUCH PEOPLE WHEREVER POSSIBLE, EXCEPT WHEN TO DO SO WOULD INJURE THEM OR OTHERS .
I showed AL the list and ask him where do I start, he told me to make a couple of easy one's first. The most important thing to remember is that's its your amends not theirs , your here to clean up your side of the street not theirs .He told me something that brought tears to my eyes HE TOLD ME I SHOULD SAY THAT I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE PAIN AND MISERY I HAVE BROUGHT INTO THEIR LIVES , I know that i've hurt alot of people in my life , but when he put it like that, I felt the hurt in my heart for the first time.some of my amends were $$$$$
they were the hard one's to make when your starting all over again but they have to be done or the fear of the mail box will return.

( OK ITS PRACTICE THESE PRINCIPLES IN ALL OF OUR AFFAIRS )

YOUR SPONSOR TOLD YOU GOOD STUFF BUT REMEMBER ITS GETS EASIER THE MORE WE PRACTICE THEM TO ,THE HARDEST WORD IN A.A.( TIME .)

For me the longer I stay sober the easier alot of these things come easier I drank for 32 years and these principles are the totaly different from my old way of life, I use to get up in the morning and all I could think of was how I was going to drink all day with out getting caught ,planting my beer, how I could make the day easier for me it was all about me , now its not like that I "pray" in the morning to help other people and to be a better person , I go threw the day trying not to be selfesh , self centered and to hold my EGO down thats hard.
I found

AL told me to go back to my 4th step ,alot of the names I needed would be there . then ask myself if there was any other people that I had harmed ,and the most important part of this step is to become willing, to make amends to them all.
