I must be reminded that 1)if everyone puts their problems on the table, I will be very quick to take mine back and 2) I need to have more step 3 in my life. I need to stop worrying about getting ahead and help others more. Basically, I do have economic fear— actually me and my wife were arguing over this today.

Yesterday, in a meeting someone reminded me that my wealth, my job and everything else that I consider MINE is not. Today, I work for God (my higher power) and I don't need to get my fill from outside STUFF - I can get it inside with him. Thank God I get to continue to be sober and learn....

My spouse has much of her retirement tied up in a "storage," (she is a hoarder), house and property in another city. We are both retired but she continues to pay taxes and utilities on that property. All major expenses, including mortgage for the place we lives then falls on me. I just now realize again that I am whining. All I am doing is making excuses and blaming. And all the whining is not going to bring me the big cheese. I must somehow learn not to justify myself by making excuses and complaining. I have to let go and let god! I'm working on it - but this is another difficult step for me to take. Of course as an alcoholic, control was the name of the game and I had to be on top. Ever so slowly that promise mention will be realized - KEEP DRIVING GOD!! I am fortunate to have what I have, I could have nothing - there are so many in that boat. I pray to the god of my understanding: Please God help me stop, complain, blaming and making excuses. What I have is what I have. I struggle with economic fear.
