Good Day Everyone!!  My name is Anthony and I am a grateful alcoholic.  I want to inform all of you that my birthday is June 24, 1965.  I know that I have been conferring with my AA Sponsor every single day.  If you have AA Sponsor, please let him know how you are doing on a daily basis.  Frankly, all I have is today.  I know that my life has been filled with ups and downs during the past 14 years.  I told my AA Sponsor regarding my situation and I explained to him that I had put my lips on a bottle of wine on January 2, 2000.  He stated to me that I should have told him the truth about my sobriety.  I told him that I have 24 years of Sobriety.  He agreed that I should have been honest with him regarding my recovery.  Anytime you get yourself in a bad situation and you have a Burning Desire, Call Your Sponsor or someone who is in the AA Program.  I will admit that I was dealing with some females at that time.  My AA Sponsor indicated that I should have called him before I relapsed.  I will admit that if you put your lips on a bottle of beer or wine, then you relapsed.  I know that I am telling all of the AA Newcomers that it is going to be very hard staying sober.  Whenever you get out of AA Treatment. The first thing that you are supposed to complete before you graduate from the Treatment Center is get an AA Sponsor and Work The 12 Steps.  I do not have any business allowing outside influences to get the best of me.  Now, I call my AA Sponsor everyday of the week.  I Work and Live The AA Program.  I know that I am supposed to read the AA BigBook as well as the Bible.  Step One Says that We are powerless over alcohol and our lives are unmanageable.  How to Work this Step is to Pray to Jesus Christ every single day of the week.  Second, I am supposed to let Jesus Christ know in an honest way that you are an alcoholic and you need help working the 12 Steps.  Always Read The Book of Proverbs and Psalms every single day of the week.  My AA Sponsor wanted me to Read The Book of Job for starters so that I can understand the Bible..  It also had given me An Example of a Person Who Lost His Family and Everything.  I read all 42 Chapters of Job, and I have learned a valuable lesson in life.  Jesus Christ is Always Available 24 Hours Per Day.  His Holy Spirit is inside of all of us.  Frankly, I AM A WORK IN PROCESS!!  God is working inside of me.  I have to SURRENDER TO A POWER THAT IS GREATER THAN MYSELF!!  I know that I am not perfect, but GOD is BETTER THAN ME!!  I have to write down all of my Strengths and Weaknesses down on a piece of paper.  I am supposed to write down everything that I am concerned about.  LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT!!!  Please write all of the things that you have done in a positive manner every single day of the week.  You have to write down the things that are bothering us as well.  The SECOND STEP is to yield to a POWER That is Greater than Ourselves that will restore us to Sanity.  This Means that I am supposed to have an honest conversation with God.  Write Down the things that I talk to God about.  I am supposed to officially SURRENDER TO GOD in the Third Step.  We Made A Decision to Turn Our Will And Our Lives OVER TO THE CARE OF GOD THAT WE UNDERSTAND HIM.  This is OFFICIALLY SURRENDER TO GOD.  LET GOD KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE AND MAKE A DECISION TO LIVE FOR HIM.  This means that we are supposed to read the Bible every single day of the week, attend Church as well as Bible Study.  We are Supposed to Make 90 Meetings in 90 Days.  This means that we go to AA Meetings on a regular basis.  NEVER QUIT OR GIVE UP!!  June is the Month that I was born.  I officially was born at 7:30PM on June 24, 1965.  My Mother told me that I was up all night because I was accustomed to staying up all night.  My mother had to watch me because I was staying up all of the time.  I was sleeping during the day and staying up all night.  My mother was an alcoholic as well as my father.  Therefore, all of my Nieces & Nephews are addicts and alcoholics.  My Brothers and Sisters are alcoholics.  It is a FAMILY AFFAIR!!  My name is Anthony and I am a Grateful Recovering Alcoholic.  My Problem is Myself.  I have a Mental Illness Called Schizoid Affective Disorder!!  I take 38 pills per day.
