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

05.12.07

When alcohol influenced every facet of my life, when bottles became the symbol of all my self-indulgence and permissiveness, when I came to realize that, by myself, I could do nothing to overcome the power of alcohol, I realized I had no recourse except surrender. In surrender I found victory -- victory over my self-indulgence . . . When I stopped fighting anybody or anything, I started on the path to sobriety, serenity and peace. ~Daily Reflections
Today I am grateful...
  • that my Higher Power shines an honest light on things. That's how I see differently than my usual perceptions.
  • for the main reason I was able to stay sober at first--surrender
  • that I still surrender on a daily basis
  • for my own brand of human-ness
