There is nothing about you that was not intended to be. You have an incredibly sacred purpose. ~Pocket Sponsor
Today I am grateful...
- that I do not live in fire zone of California
- for the trust to let things go and not take them back
- that I get to have my own understanding of a power greater than myself. Perfect for an alcoholic!
- to be accepting of: I am what I am
I have had an unsavory past. I am sorry, yes. But it cannot be changed now. All that is yesterday and is done. But now my life is an open book. Come and look at it, if you want to. I'm trying to do the best I can. I will fail often, but I won't make excuses. I will face things as they are and not run away. ~ Twenty-Four Hours A Day

Dear Scott,
"unsavory", I like that word.
Our pasts can help others. I never wish to shut the door on mine, yet, I will not glorify or romance it either.
I threw the doors of Hell opened and ran through them somewhere in 1996. I had for years been "knocking" at those doors.
I am happy and grateful for an "intervention" by my Sister.
Happily sober, clean and smoke-free today !
Thank YOU
Yes, I love unsavory. Those were the days.
The last quote ist sehr gut.
For years I denied myself a relationship with my HP because it never fit into any organized religion. As hard as I would try to mash my HP into a particular religion an elbow or the head wouldn't fit. The worst was when there wasn't room for my HP's heart. With AA, my God fits just fine, and there's even room for your HP, too.
Unsavoury. Allowing for your odd colonial spelling ... lol..."Unsavoury"...a new range of recovery snacks?
Hand it over. Don't take it back. Note to self.
Have a good day, Scott.
What a relief it is to accept my past as it is without wanting to edit it.
I love that Kenny re-spelled savory... one of my pet peeves is Americans using British spelling, but he can do it legitimately!
i'm trying to meditate 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night. it helps me a lot with not 'taking it back'. thanks for your talk about meditation.
