" man is this gonna be hard to explain to my old man"

i kinda had an accident.

KINDA ! HOW MUCH IS THIS LITTLE KINDA ACCICDENT GONNA

COST ME NOW?

" then mom steps in out of no where"

"shame on you, you didn't even ask if our son got hurt!"

" now i really have to find a way out ! but my mind is realing,who's copping up to this one"

Kinda

( i think grumbling to my self)

" WELL DID YOU GET HURT OR NOT !

of couse dad has to chime in.

SEE , I TOLD YA HE'S A LIAR

( THAT'S WHEN I FESS UP TO WHAT KINDA HURT I HAD)

ALL RIGHT !

It's not the fact that i almost got hit by an oncoming car.

I did exactly what you said and swerved before it could hit our car.

I didn't know how to ask for the lysol and glade.

" lysol and glade ? what does that have anything at all with our car any way?"

" when i realized that we didn't get hurt, i figured out i was so scared i honestly peed myself"

then mom and dad did two diferent things at once.

Mom threw a clean pair of shorts at me say atleast change you pants, then rushed out with the lysol and glade her self, along with a srubbrush.

but dad became the angel

" son i really understand now, why you didn't want to tell the truth.

no grown person would ever want to say outright they were actually so out of controll, with anything , they actually wet themselves.

beteween you and me now, how far from home did you get before you understood how nasty

your own stuff stank? "

"DAD i was only two blocks from home, but shouldn't i have noticed it a lot sooner than that?

this whole thing start about 1,000,000,000,.

miles ago, how come i only noticed just before i got home?

" well when i was alot younger than you are today, my problem wasn't quite the same as yours.

see, i drank before i got behind the steering wheel. done it befor so i figured why not? that why not, cost me ten years in jail, this tatoo too.

untill that first drink i was an honest man, even had my own lawyfirm.

now i'm lucky, i mean really lucky son.

it was my best friend who came to post bail, for parole hearing,

i had been his boss, he had been my accountant.

that's why after 23 years in A.A. i am still so gratefull to my friend, each time i see him, at our meetings, i thank him.

now i was really confused, the hangover was starting to kick in, what dad psychic or what?

son , from the looks of you right now you gotta go to the e.r. not a meeting.

as i started to passout, i pucked, the e.r.?

alochol poisioning at 22?

who did i have to call, no one

but god.

that's who actually brought me to this meeting.

dealing with life on life's term's will never be as easy as being stoned.

yet sober alive, is a heck of alot better than stoned cold dead.

my aa sponsor has more time sober that dad, but i was really happy for all the time he took,

explaining the meaning of befriending b.w. in the bigbook.

yet, i understand i'm only human to,

trying to type this out is 

( man that person is huge, drunk too! )

"whew, back to step ? for the thousanth time this week?"

Don't do what i did either please.

stopp drooling after others to love untill you can really love and accept yourself.

happy father's day

lord.

amen.

( a lot of times we have to stand back, no matter how painfull it may be. is to allow another realize the bottom they have reached.

who saved this kid's life? read between the lines.

god.

who gave the wisdome to this kids father to understand when to intervene?

god again.

what finaly brought this kid to a.a. to want to learn himself?

let's call it

Devine intervetion.

which means?

the lord himself

amen.
