I have not done my steps in the last couple of days because I crashed my laptop and I had some issues that caused me to fall. I wish I would have read this step Friday or Sat. but I got busy tyring to help out with the wedding. Now that I wright that it is not a good enough excuse to me. I could have done my steps in the morning. Anyway, I could have really put this step to the test Sat. night. I ended up letting my anger,jealousy and pride get in the way ontop of drinking whisky witch is something I should never do. I have been trying to stop drinking because that is one of my many problems and it has always caused me problems. I just figured because it was a special ocassion I would be ok. WRONG!!!!!!!!!

Now my mom, stepdad, both my sisters and my brother-in-law are mad at me and will not speak to me. I had a lot of repenting to do and I did but I am still hurt and feel very ashamed for what I have done. I don't like feeling like this but I did do it to myself. I can only pray that God will put it into every ones heart to forgive me.

I really thought I was making progress, now I feel like I have to start all over again. I do know this, besides surrendering my drinking problem to God I am going to get that little extra help I need to stop drinking. My real dad has been in A.A. for a long time and I think it is time to take him up on his offer of going to meetings.

God Bless

We all fall down. God knew we would, so he sent his son.
Praise God for the son.
I join you in praying that your familly can forgive quickly. I know the burn of unforgiveness. As if it keeps you bound to your sin, even after Jesus has washed it away.
Seek him at this time. Though others don't forgive quickly, as it is human, Jesus does.
This could be a good thing for you and your dad to be in A.A. together.
You may have fallen but you are stronger than last time and next time you will be even stronger.

God bless and keep you.

bluebird, it's so awesome to see you back on the path. Yes, sometimes we make decisions that hurt many people besides us, but just know that if you apologize and ask them for forgivness then you are doing as God would ask. No you can't make them forgive you, but you can ask them to.

I'm glad that you are deciding to go to the A.A. meetings with your dad. I have heard some great things about this program...as it has helped many who have been where you are now.

Keep seeking the Lord. He loves you bluebird.

luv ya
