My
name isMike,
I am
alcoholic
-
last 24 hours sober.
That
means I had been dependent from the bottle, a maniac, I did drinking
morbidly, or whitch way ever you would call that.
Later
I learned to live with the disease, learned myself beeing able
to exist "without" . And - I'm very thankful for that!
Listening,
Speaking and Learning at the meeting groups of alcoholics anonymous
("AA") gave a new life to me!
In past the alcohol
defined my life!
The ALC was my only
authority, it decided about the time I was sleeping or awake,
if I was thirsty or hungry, feeling good or bad. IT decided
about how to run my day, about my state of mind and what I would
like to do or not. A very long time over horribly many years!
Today it changed. For
the last 24 hours. And, it's my hope, the next 24 hours, too.
For this situation I have to thank the plenty of friends at the
tables of AA and a higher or godly authority whitch holds its
hand above myself. Seems I was ready to take it.
A new
life was given to me!
And
for that I'm thankful. Very thankful.
Life
is kind to me!
After
all horrible experiences I lived.
The
main thing in past for me was drinking. Imprisoned in a circle
of disease. All I did dealed the more or less with the "Stuff",
my personal devil - alcohol.
Today
I am able to do different things. I discovered wishes and talents
inside myself I never knew, never could imagine before. Some day
about many years ago I started to write, in the sleepless nights
after my fallbacks in withdrawal. At first a kind of diary. Later
some sayings or proverbs with pictures. After that poems with
images or illustrations and also other texts. Over the years there
are nearly 80 poems now.
Some
years ago I also started to make paintings. Although not able
to paint I made these by computer art. To have on canvas art prints
or as composite panel.
Out
of these components there developed a book. It's titled
Every
day is today
