Recovery is not an event

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I no longer need alcohol to escape; I've found other ways (hmmmmm...)

for time spent with my sponsee - I learn much more than he does, I'm sure

that even though I'm committed, I'm not committed

for the progression of sobriety

that, in life, change is inevitable, except in a vending machine

that it only took me half a century to learn that I can't change others

that pedestals are made for statues, not humans that breathe

that I am willing to listen to what you say, but don't have to do what you say

that it was 69 degrees in Houston this morning

that, barring a major meltdown this weekend, The Astros will make the playoffs

He that will not reason is a bigot.

He that cannot reason is a fool.

He that dares not reason is a slave.
