Anonymous Child: listening to the speaking of sanity

Given the best of every opportunity by his parents who were AA sponsors; by his education at the best schools; by his business society to succeed to prosper honestly: a young man chooses to lie to get instant relief;… to get out of too much commitment and too much responsibility: . to get out of Grosse Pointe, Michigan as a youth … to get to become; an on the streets of San Francisco bottom feeding drunk … … only to find God, by asking for a sign before hanging himself … In 1987, I became a practicing alcoholic for 14 years to cope with psychic, emotional and the continuing spiritual growth pains of my own unconsciousness. But is truly only by divine grace I began to be attracted to recover my moral and emotional sanity through the practices, intimate fellowship and rigors of the social accountability of consistent daily practices, having a sponsor and working the 12 Steps, including the honor of helping other alcoholic sponsees in Alcoholics Anonymous. This is the story I wish to tell of a recovered alcoholic… …a VERY grateful recoverED alcoholic!
