todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that I'd rather be on the roller coaster of recovery than the merry-go-round of active addiction
as I read Chapter One in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions with a sponsee, I was reminded of my bottom. I know that it was my bottom. I could not go lower than that without dying. Hitting that bottom ensures me that I was/am willing to do whatever it takes to stay sober. I can only wish the same for others. Only time will tell.
that I'm not comfortable with little white lies. I know many people who use these often. When I hear them, I don't like it. But another program has taught me to let those feelings go. I don't need to tell other people how to run their lives. Whew!
Happiness is a choice. Your circumstance can affect it, but you're still the one who decides your happiness.

I was sober a long ass time before I learned that I didn't need to tell others how to run their lives. You're ahead of me sugar.
I love that first pic of Michael Phelps!
I wish my boss would go to alanon - she is very busy running the entire universe - and its a big job because according to her everyone is STUPID!
Thank God I don't have to live that way. I have truly found the easier softer way.
I'm learning, very slowly, that's it's really not my job to run everyone's life...and, like you, that's a huge relief!

My favorite saying is: "It's none of my business.".
Yeah to Michael Phelps.
