This Time Of Year And How To Cope

[LuckyV2]

As people that have the disease of Addiction, we have a very hard time being able to cope mentally this time of the year. Holidays, Special Ocassions, and even those that are not so special, sometimes makes it hard to stay focused on our goals, our ambitions, our attitudes I know that my attitude has really STUNK and that is putting it nicely!

I have come to realize just this today. Yeah Vic, well he is a real hard guy to get something through his head...Always have been like that. But what I've found out today, that no matter how hard a guy/gal tries. No matter how focused they are on whatever they are doing. That what the Big Book Says,

"We can see how the people and the world really dominated us." Something to that affect I can't remember word for word, I believe it is the How It Works chapter though. Well anyways...

I get this lesson...Your not in Control Vic!

These are only lessons for you Vic to get back to the basics,

1. Read the Big Book/Basic Text Whatever
2. Go To Meetings
3. Get and use a Sponsor = Vic that ain't you!
4. Work The Steps/Live Whatever
5. Don't DRINK NO MATTER WHAT!

So back to the basics,

1. Wake Up
2. Do my postings if I haven't done them already.
3. Get cleaned up, shower, shave and yeah you know....
4. Maybe eat but probably not.
5. Do what ya have to do with house chores.
6. Work on some of you steps.
7. Contact Sponsor everyday

So yeah....How do we cope with this time of year and all of the hustle and bustle that is going on?
