Today I am grateful...

• that my dear friend Kevin today celebrates one year of sobriety and a new life
• for today's DailyOm meditation: ...don't get caught up in believing that your life has truly reached a standstill. There is always some choice or action, however small or seemingly insignificant, that will help you to abolish your roadblock and move ahead.
• to have truly found an easier and softer way to lead my life through the program of AA
• for the freedom from my own self-built prison
• for moments of silence to remember the suffering addict, both inside and outside the rooms
• for the following, page 19 of the Big Book, that knocked me down when I first read it: Those of us who live in large cities are overcome by the reflection that close by hundreds are dropping into oblivion every day.
• to no longer be one of those who were trapped in that oblivion
