I AM READY FOR THE BIG JOBS

I am discovering just how important I have become in the life of my family. I owe it all to the fact that the program of AA has enabled me to become a responsible sober person. That sounds like the most disgusting description of a person that could be offered. However if anyone knew me before I joined AA and then was to meet me now the description would not be such a downer. While I was active I was a totally egotistical self-centered nasty individual superior to all and paranoid of everything. This was on my good days. Being an alcoholic was a promotion for me and was definitely a notch above my past incarnation as a damn drunken bum.

My grand daughters entrusted me with the feeding and care of their cat while they are in Florida on vacation. To do this I have to go to their house every morning on the way to work and every evening after work to refill the water, refresh the cat food and clean the litter box.

My daughter described me to her girl friend as her resource.

My wife need me to wash her car.

My son and business partner went on vacation relatively sure that the business will be here when he returns.

In other words I am becoming a normal human being. This is dependent on your frame of reference as to the definition of normal and it is not always factual. The other Thomas would have found excuses to evade this responsibility to care for the cat. He would have been awake for the entire vacation worrying what was going to happen bad.

Today I can enjoy the opportunity to be of help and not lose any sleep over the chore either. Damn I’m good.
