Edges 1

O2-11-26

  The edges that I am talking about are the rough edges I had before we got married. One of the edges she smoothed over was my drinking, the night I met her was the night I stopped drinking.

  When I met her that night I no longer felt a need for alcohol.

  She got me to be calmer when dealing with problems causeed by others, and or by me. She did this by calming my spirit so I could be more diplomatic when dealing with others.

  With Karen being at home with the Lord I sometimes feel the need for a drink, I even curb the feeling by saying I need a drink and then pouring myself a cup of coffee. I know and will stop using this phrase due to the fact it could lead me to start drinking again, which with my allergy to alcohol could be fatal, or lead to drunkeness.

  I have found myself responding more sarcasticly to some people who don’t realize that they need to stop talking.

  Then there are people who keep pushing not understanding that they really are not helping but making it worse. I just don’t want them to push me to the point where they could get a much darker response.

 What is helping me get through this is I have a good church that is supporting me. I have friends who are always praying for me.

  I have friends who will give me rides to my appointments if they can. I even have one , who if I start getting out of line threatens to take me to Starbucks.

  Well thats all for now. This one is a short one today I try to make up for it next time.1
