Steps 1-12
6/23/2009 sobriety date _ this time been trying for EVER
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Steps 1 & 2
Alcohol almost never produces my intended effect and ALWAYS, eventually produces unintended remorse and regret, the unintended consequences therefore render me ineffective to deal with life on lifes terms (e.g. relationship with my wife, potential negative and real negative consequences with the law, unhappiness
etc.) Since I myself have made hundreds if not thousands of attempts to restore myself to sanity (ie not keep drinking night after night to excess, when I feel remorseful each morning without obtaining intended effects such has joy and happiness (except briefly while I was drinking, more relief), and with no success of moderating after sometime, I therefore must be powerless and the entity that can restore me to sanity must be a greater power than myself.
Step 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Step 3
Based on the items I discuss in Steps 1 & 2 and in order to retain any happiness for myself Im placing my self will that has guided my entire life in the hands of the universal creator (fifth force) or God as I understand him and as he speaks to me through my cognitive thought (my neocortex.) The neocortex is the complex, conscious section of the brain. It is the part of the brain that gives you a sense of individuality - a sense of "being you."

So, I was just out on my front lawn watching the 3rd of july fireworks our local community does (I think they dont want to compete with the big city shows tomorrow). We can only see them through the trees, and I LOVE fireworks (well, except for what they do to poor rufus the dog). Every year I sit and watch them through the trees from my front yard, 6 beers in. And then it hits me BAM. Tomorrow night, I can DRIVE somewhere and watch real fireworks, up close, for the first time in eons. I will be sober. . .like all night! So I can just cruise around. . .Wow!
I will spend the day painting my kid sister's new house (funny, none of her friends who offered to help can make it on a "party" weekend haha). Then I will come home and get all the dogs cozy and safe in bedrooms where the noise won't upset them, then, I might just go see a display wheee!!
Anyone else beside poor char have sober plans for the 4th?
