I'll tell you what. I do believe that there are some promises in the Big Book of AA and there are some that are not, that a good many of us might experience too.
Before Recovery I was: Divorced, Drunk, and Grumpy when I didn't have a drink. Grumpy when my stomach was empty and was worried about money.
I wanted to change everything around me.
A few years after Recovery: I'm Married, And enjoying it, Grumpy when my stomach is empty and when I'm worried about money.
I wouldn't change a thing.
I'm less grumpy tho' today then I was drinking. I'm happy, actually. Really happy. I get worried, I get stressed and I screw up. All the time. Still.
Those were part of the promises that AA told me about. Those are the GOOD one. The other promise, is from my wife, I've been also promised that if I'm drinking, all I'll see is her shadow in the door as she's leaving. That's one of those promises I hope I never see.
It's kind of nice, we don't have to be sick and tied. Today we can be Happy!
