Help from my friends

On the streets of Las Vegas 7:45pm

[Jimmy Fatal is walking down the busy streets of Las Vegas, on his way to an A.A meeting. He is in deep thought as he finally gets to the chapel where the meeting is taking place.

As he enters he sees a lot of people standing around, drinking coffee and chatting, he hates this part, the socializing before the meeting, small talk for the sake of talking. A guy comes up to him.

Hi I'm Eric are you new here?

Uhm yes I'm Jimmy and this is my first meeting in this place

Ok how long you've been part of the program?

For about 1 year... took me sometime to accept it after I stopped drinking

Well I'm glad that your here, we are going to start now

[Jimmy finds a chair and sits down as Eric starts the meeting, but he can't really focus on what is said, the events from last weeks show and High Stakes are still bouncing around in his mind]

Does anyone have something they want to share with the group, grief, sorry, happiness or anything else?

[Slowly Jimmy rises from his chair]

I'm Jimmy and I'm an alcoholic, its been one and a half year since my last drink

[The group replies before he continues]

Hi Jimmy and welcome

I'm a professional wrestler and I love my job, I take pride in that I can entertain people and at the same time work with some really good and skilled people, but lately I feel like I have failed, both myself and my colleagues

You see last week I was set to face a guy named Apostle Kried, I was looking forward to this, as he is very good at what he does and seems like a stand up guy. Mostly I was looking forward to the challenge of facing him in the ring, but it also scared the shit out of me because I failed in my past single endeavors...

So i prayed to my higher power asking for the serenity, courage and wisdom to overcome this hurdle and when the night came I was standing in the ring facing the entrance as Apostle Kried came in and suddenly out of nowhere he gets attacked and I...

I just froze, I couldn't move, couldn't help him and was just standing there staring.

Now this week I have to face him again in the ring and this time I feel fear, I'm afraid of what will happen, afraid that the match wont happen again or that I will freeze up and wont be able to do my best or help out again.

Cause I know Cried is good, but I want to prove that I'm worthy of standing face to face with him and the best way to prove this is to win or at least make sure that I don't make it easy for him.

I would like to ask the group to help me pray and find guidance and courage

[Everybody stands and join hands as Jimmy leads them in the prayer]

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference

Thank you

[He sits down as the meeting continues]

This was a really good read. I love this character development. I know I'm not supposed to give feedback, but I loved this post.
