get well, little charity, in the ordinary sense of the word, is needed or wanted. The men who cry for money and shelter before conquering alcohol, are on the wrong track. Yet we do go to great extremes to provide each other with these very things, when such action is warranted. This may seem inconsistent, but we think it is not.

It is not the matter of giving that is in question, but when and how to give. That often makes the difference between failure and success. The minute we put our work on a service plane, the alcoholic commences to rely upon our assistance rather than upon God. He clamors for this or that, claiming he cannot master alcohol until his material needs are cared for. Nonsense. Some of us have taken very hard knocks to learn this truth: Job or no job - wife or no wife - we simply do not stop drinking so long as we place dependence upon other people ahead of dependence on God

HEY GUYS!!
God was really with me today,
got hired on a new job after my relapse and being off work for 2 months. I was really excited and all my prayers were answered, the feeling of being able to get back on track and getting finances in order , and I'm talking to the guys and asking questions. And found out we only get paid (once a month!!)
I was devastated. With child support, mortgage. Bill's
Its like I take 2 steps back every time I take a step.
I walked away. Pissed. This would usually make me drink. The notion of uncertainty and fear
2 hours later the boss calls me, saying they are changing to every 2 weeks, and he wants me to come back tomorrow, in just an hour of working there today. Being sober and having faith I was gonna be okay.
Really just felt good, to have reliance on God.
I would never would of. Been able to handle this drunk. I would of got drunk because of fear like this. I'm just grateful,
