They Took My Children
On July 18, 2003 the wonderful state of Michigan helped me to realize that I had a problem. They took my children away from me and put them in foster care because I didn't care. I didn't care about my children, myself, or my family. I just didn't care about anything. Everyone has there very own bottom, that was my final one.I was in such denial that I was mad at God for allowing that to happen to me, I hated him for that. That was until I went to the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and realized that God was giving me a chance -- another chance to be the person that He wanted me to be. He wanted me to be a healthy more productive member in this world.
Given Another Chance
One night at a meeting a very wise man told me that "Your children are not yours, they are God's children and you are responsible for them." It got me thinking that he was right and I was not doing right by God's children. I thank God and the rooms of A.A. to have been given another chance to do right with God's children.Fourteen months later I was given my (God's) children back. I am not going to lie, it has been a long and winding road but with the help of my Higher Power and the rooms of A.A. I have remained clean and sober.
Mothers, Please Stop
For those mothers that are still drinking and drugging: Please stop! You do not understand what you are putting your (God's) children through or yourself, for that matter.I really hope that someone can get something out of my story. May God bless and keep you all.
