IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

To live your life without expectation—without the need for specific results—that is freedom. That is Godliness. ~Cw/G

Today I am grateful...
  • that when I came back into the rooms of AA I surrendered the fight. I was able to admit and accept that I was completely powerless over alcohol. That led to insight and eventual acceptance that I was also powerless over people, places and things.
  • for last night's birthday and New Year's Eve celebrations
  • that I made it to the 9:30 meeting this morning after taking forever to fall asleep last night
  • that the phone keeps ringing. and I can't get this list finished so I can let it go as it is and...

Wish you the best for the coming year, stay sober and stay in touch.
