Getting Through the Slump

In 1991, my life was going great. I had been actively working the Twelve Steps with my sponsor for five years. I had a new wife, two new stepsons, and a new job in a new city. Moving from Lexington, Kentucky, to Huntington, West Virginia, was a trial, but we survived and began to settle in. I knew we would be fine. After all, I had stayed sober through my divorce from my first wife, and I had begun to accept that I would not be involved in the daily parenting of my daughter. But in spite of these heartaches, the Promises were materializing in my life. I declared myself well.
