I remember seeing bumper stickers that read “God is my Co-Pilot.”
I have felt that statement in my life. There are times when that is the truth for me. God is the Co-Pilot and I am in the driver’s seat. And when that happens, it does not go well. So why someone would brag about that with a bumper sticker is beyond me.
From Chaos to Control
My first words in the Program were, “My name is Andy…and I am here.”
An old timer asked, “So why are you here?”
“I think that I have a potential problem with drinking. I am having some problems and think that I should stop. But my life is under control. No one knows that I have a drinking problem. All my drinking friends are kept is separate compartments and don’t know each other. If they all got together, they would see that I have a drinking problem. But my life is not unmanageable. I am in third-year law school, and doing well other than my drinking.”
