P before p

It has been a minute since I posted last. I have been steadily working my recovery. Many times in the groups I can "see" people in various ways. Many times I see leaders, politicians, authors etc..

I see people not for their common ground they share with me but with their uncommon ground masked by their disease of alcoholism. It is unfortunate that I see people in this manner. I see what they could have become were it not for their personalities becoming twisted and agree to fight with King Alcohol.

I am one of them. I am a part of this fellowship that is to place principles before personality. Even though my obsession to drink has been lifted I continue to work on my emotional and psychological sobriety. It helps me right now to hear from those with a lot of days. I continue to get the wisdom engulfed by the message. I continue to not drink. I continue to attend meetings. I continue to talk with my sponsor and other alcoholics. I continue to attend book studies and work through steps. And things just keep getting better. I sometimes come across people who are basically miserable in sobriety, but I continue to give them my standard nod and small smile without validating or reacting to them. I continue to give and take from experiences, strengths and hope. I have no grey nor pink vision but rather iridescence and I am 1/3rd into a years worth of experience. Hopefully, with my Higher Power driving I will be able to make it through this Grand Prix.
