So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.---Will Rogers
Secrets help keep us sick. In our drinking and using days, we did things we weren't proud of. We lived in a secret world we were ashamed of. This part of the power of addiction. Our behavior and our secrets kept us trapped. Recovery offers us a way out of this secret world. In our groups, we share our secrets, and they lose their power over us. There may be things we're too ashamed to talk about in our groups. When we share these things in our Fifth Step, they lose their power over us. We have a new life that we're not ashamed to talk about. When shame leaves, pride enters our hearts. We know we're good people! ~Keep It Simple
Today I am grateful...
- that relief today comes from being sober and fairly centered
- for the growing transformation that started after I stopped putting alcohol into my body
- that my world is better because my thoughts are healthier
- for a raised consciousness as a direct result of more communication with my Higher Power
- that I cannot say what has happened to me, except, I am not the same

Thanks, Scott, for the reminder that I am being transformed still.
I'm still transforming, too! And the good news is I don't look like one of those transformer toys from awhile ago.
Yeh, I like what I'm still becoming. Sometimes it's easy and somtimes it's hard as hell. When I remember my higher power, it gets easy again. The point - it is a we thing.
Glad I stopped by today, thanks Scott, I needed to read this
healthier thinking...is pretty huge. I love it when I can recognize that in myself!
Good Morning Scott.
