todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
to see my Mom walk around her room without any assistance of any kind
that these days I can find patience with a smile
that I have yet to discover a trigger to drink alcohol (not that I'm looking for one)
that my experience with Step 5 gave me the courage to share my life and feelings more openly in the rooms of AA and on one-on-one situations
that I am really trying not to isloate; with and without success
that I never had a drinking problem until I got to AA (LOL)
that we read "The Missing Link" in the 6:30am meeting today
for some cool and gorgeous weather in Houston this week
Nobody entirely escapes temptation. You must expect it and be ready for it when it comes. You must be ready to recognize it.

Every time I think I'm patient. Suddenly, I become impatient.
HI DAAVE.... Have a great day
I like the paraphrase..reminds me that the way to stay ready is to stay in the middle of it all
A excellent list!
i like the quote
Hey there!
Another reason I need a meeting and some phone calls every day. I sincerely think that I'd be much closer to a drink or maybe drinking tonight if I didn't have a couple of phone calls to sober friends and a meeting tonight.
