JUST FOR TODAY
I am no longer a drunk I am a proud alcoholic,
I am not a bad person I am a sick person,
I have self-respect and the respect of others.
In my $10 room, over the bar, I would take a ham cheese sandwich and
shaker of bloody mary, eat ½ and put the rest under my bed. If
cockroaches hadn’t eaten it by morning, I would eat the rest and go to
work. My wife ended up in Connecticut, with a guy, raising my kids. I
was doing anything just to get money to drink. I can’t read or write. I
am ashamed, and I don’t tell anyone. My father died at 23 of spinal
meningitis. I had 2 step-fathers, both died of this disease. One
smothered in his own vomit.
I was sent to AA by the courts in Middleton, NY. The judge mandated
me to go for help or work for the State of New York for 7 years
(prison). So they sent me to mental health in Goshen, NY for 12 weeks,
then go to AA. I had to stay until the therapist told me I was well
enough not to come back. At that time I thought I had a lot of back
problems; probation, ex-wife, the courts, the job…
I ended up meeting a girl in a bar. She took me home with her and put
me up on the couch. When she went to bed, I wanted to go to bed with
her. Come Sunday morning the phone rang. She came out and answered
the phone. I heard her say, “Can I bring a friend?” I prayed to Jesus that
I was that friend. I hoped if I went, that I could be in bed with her the
next night.
It was an AA meeting at a dude ranch where I had drank before. The
chairman asked if there was anyone new, so I raised my hand, and said,
“I don’t know if I am an alcoholic, but the court system said I am, and I
need help.” Over in a corner sat pretty girl with the greatest set of thighs
I ever seen. They told me to go in the back room to a Newcomers
meeting. As they went around the room we had to say our sobriety date,
home group and whether we had a sponsor. I not only didn’t have any
of them, I didn’t know what they were. Everything was strange to me.
The closer the time to talk got to me more I wanted to leave, but I
wanted to meet girl with the thighs. One guy said he had 25 years, I
knew he was a liar. Two gals, from school, said they each had 2 years
sober, liars. I was so uncomfortable. Peggy ended up in group therapy
with me, her husband had left her, she had 2 years. She was patient and
talked to me.
I was so afraid of going to jail that I was hitchhiking and walking to get
to the meetings. I knew that if I went to jail, the first guy to touch me I
would kill. Sometimes I would walk 25 miles to and from a meeting.
I know today that I was lying in that room over the bar totally
insane…the juke box began to haunt me. I wanted to go down there. I
started praying, then crying, eventually I would fall asleep. Hours
turned into days. I went to my 3rd meeting, still hadn’t been to bed with
her, those thighs went through my head like sugar plums.
One of meetings was in the church I was baptized and married in. Met
up with two old drinking friends at the meeting in the church, they had
10 years and 6 years sober. One was driving a beer truck for a living
and the other was tending bar. I compared myself to them. I was worse
than them so I must be an alcoholic. I still wanted to drink. Gary, who
had the 6 years, said to me,”Harold, Garlic Nick will be your sponsor.”

Steps, Traditions, and Concepts

Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that
our lives had become unmanageable.
Tradition 1: Our common welfare should come first; personal
recovery depends on A.A. unity.
Concept I: Final responsibility and ultimate authority for A.A.
world services should always reside in the collective
conscience of our whole Fellowship.

You could smell him half a mile away and I didn’t want to be seen
with him. He became the man I would have liked to have had for a
father. The group became my higher power. Nick was gentle; he loved
me until I could love myself. He started inviting me to his house for
dinner. At work, all the guys drank. I talked to Nick, “Harold, you
don’t have drink alcohol, a lot of people drink tea at break-time. When
it’s your turn to buy, buy them their beer and you drink coffee.” I was
starting to fit in. We were doing a house, one of the guys at the job
said, “Harold, you been smiling a lot lately, what’s up?” I told him,
“…getting laid and not drinking.”
The longer I stay sober the smarter my mother got. She’s been 9
years in The Big Meeting.. I used to think she was a witch, “going
to snow tomorrow,” and yes, it would snow. Now me too, not evil,
just age, my bones start to hurt with change in weather.
I had no knowledge of the steps or traditions, I couldn’t read. My
sponsor taught me the slogans…like KISS. I thought he was calling
me stupid. I was used to being called names, grew up that way. The
slogans were the hand rails to the 12-steps for me. At a meeting one
night, the chairperson, Bill D. said that after one drink he doesn’t do
what he wants but he does what the drink wants.
I was working in a rehabilitation hospital: 1st floor alcoholics, 2nd
floor drug addicts, and the building down the hill was psychiatric
patients. We had meetings at the hospital. One night there were 52
people. I went to school for counseling but never got a degree, fear
again. During that time in my life we had 18 guys and 2 gals get
sober in our house. I, too, was alone and an underdog all my life.
Alone we die, together we get sober.
When I was 6 years sober I married a lady with 5 years. We rented
a 5 bedroom farmhouse with a big cellar to store tools and we
started a construction business. Living in the farmhouse with this
lady, I keep bringing drunks home from meetings, she says “you’re
like a kid, kids bring pet’s home…you bring drunks.”
My sponsor said, “Do the steps.” I hated him for a sponsor, but his
wife’s cooking was so much better than that ham sandwich! We had
talks out on the front lawn, Jan would say “Dinner’s ready”. So we eat
and talk more. He tells me to write down 10 things I don’t do today
that I did when drinking. I told myself that if I don’t try I’ll never stay
sober. So I drew a picture of phone and a car. He says, “What is this?”
I tell him I can’t read or spell. “Ok, what’s with the phone and the
car?” So I tell him, “I don’t fight with the old lady any more and she
don’t call the cops on me, so I don’t have to rip the phone off the wall.
The car is because I don’t drive drunk no more.” So we go down the
list. My sponsor tells me if I don’t want to do these 10 things anymore
I need to change my higher power. “Your higher power is john
barleycorn. You take the first drink and you will be doing these ten
things again”.
I started hunting for my two children. I wanted to be a father. I
found my kids with my ex and her husband. My son was in the
service, and was home on leave from Germany. I drove by the
house several times, anguished, I wanted to see him and hug him
but didn’t want embarrass him. (Men don’t hug other men!) Finally
we talk and I told him of my fear, he said “Dad, you can’t put me to
shame…you’re my father”. I was not comfortable there with the ex
and her husband. She is pregnant, I wanted to kill him.
7 years sober, finally, that feeling went away. He ended up being
the best father he could. God has a funny sense of humor…I ended
up with his ex-wife, raising his kids. It worked out O.K., on
visitations, he would bring my kids, I would bring his.
The longer I don’t drink, the happier I become. I still had a lot of
head problems; I went to mental health weekly. I became the coffee
maker at ‘The Cup and Saucer’ group. They serve the coffee in
china cups and saucers. My sponsor says you can always tell the
newcomers. How? I ask. Because they hold the cup in one hand and
the saucer in the other, so it won’t rattle
In the rooms I saw guys go out and go to jail. I didn’t want to go to
jail. In therapy, my counselor says, “You’re not drinking.” I ask him,
“How you know?” “You’re not yellow.” My sponsor and spiritual
advisor told me, “Your mind wants you drunk and dead.” I would get
frustrated and resentful and they would say a good resentment will not
kill anybody, take it home and chew on it awhile, see what part you
own.
My 5th sponsor, was gay. I didn’t know it until later. His soul mate
was a guy I knew for many years. We had robbed a bar together. I
didn’t go inside the house. I didn’t want him put the make on me.
I have real life today with real friends and real feelings. I attended
the Lake Pleasant Roundup last week with my friend who I go to
the lake roundups with every year. Her sister came from Williams
in her van with a power lift, I just loved it, and I was able to use my
power-chair so I could be independent.
The group kept getting bigger. The meeting started at 9 o'clock and
over at 10. Sometimes I would not get out until midnight, talking to
the guys. Up at 5 for work, I complained to my sponsor, he tells me,
“Nobody died from lack of sleep.” The more I got involved the more I
liked it. The program was working in me. I even went to young
people’s conferences in many states, and the world conference in
Montreal, Canada.
My 5th sponsor taught me some humility. “How does it feel to help
others? Good?” Relationships change. We can spend time and not
have to be sexual. Today the more I trust myself the more I trust
other people. I call my disease a devil…father David said, “When I
do Gods work the devil gets jealous, he wants me back.” I gave him
lots of customers, now I bring them to God.
Now 7 years dry, I’ve not let go of old behaviors, like sex and
gambling. I thought that these were the luxuries of life. Today I know
that they are just more addictions. My 1st sponsor passed away from a
stroke, I end with my next sponsor, Alfie. He was the son of the lady
who owned the rehab where I went to my first meeting. There were a
lot of gay people, I couldn’t hug them, I was afraid it would rub off on
me. I talked to Alfie at work, he said just keep doing it. As I continued
to do what I was told, I grew and they became my friends.
In January I will have been handicapped for 22 years, I used to use
any excuse to drink, and today I have many reasons to be sober. I
am grateful today that God give me AA instead of jail. My 1 st
home group in AZ was “Smoke Busters“, I would sit next to the
door, and be the first out not to breath all that smoke.
My friends, helped me get back to Wittmann, told them they saved
my life. At 34 yrs. sober, my son had a party; the people glowed
after they drank some type of German liquor mixed with energy
drink. I told my son, “I think I would like to taste that.” My son told
his wife and within minutes she returned and said, “There is a
Monday Night Big Book meeting in Wittmann and you’re going!” I
think that that was 4 years ago and in January I will celebrate
another sober anniversary, by the Grace of God and the Fellowship
of AA, in spite of myself.
Harold C., Happy Trails, AZ
Alfie was killed when a car crossed over the guard rail. I kept loosing
sponsors, some from illnesses like cancer. I could not get humble. On
a road trip with my 6th sponsor I was complaining about losing
sponsors, he said, “You have been blessed, because you have learned
from each sponsor you have had.”
