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

Nothing is worth more than this day. ~Goethe

Today I am grateful...
  • for voicemail from and a returned call to Courtney
  • for those who try daily to maintain sobriety and those who don't make it in today
  • that if I have a problem there will be someone at Lambda with an answer
  • to miss Chester this morning and the memories of the almost sixteen years we had together
  • that I do not dread Monday's any longer

Whatever spiritual values you adopt are unique to you. You may adopt a strong religious stance or a more intimate spiritual philosophy from within. In any case, the spiritual path you seek is up to you and not those around you. Be comfortable with your spiritual choices and don’t try to please others. The more I have on the inside, the less I need on the outside. ~Pocket Sponsor

The freedom we find to choose an HP of our own understanding is one of the most important concepts in AA for me. I had such a poor relationship and understanding of my HP when I got here. If someone would have forced religion or some sort of belief system down my throat, I would not have stuck around, I know that for sure. So, I am grateful for the freedom to get to know an HP of my understanding!

These things are so important now, during your child-bearing years.

Many times I would see the success of others and compare myself. I had to be better in order to achieve self worth. Sometimes I am guilty of this but am aware through program, and my HP. In addition, the message is given to me as you have posted here.

I don't have a pocket sponsor, so it is cool that I found this message here today! Gratz!
