Gratitude is one of my greatest weapons in the war of addiction. When I find my heart filled with gratitude, I no longer have time for self-pity. There is no room in my heart for deceit when it is filled with gratitude. ~Wisdom for Today

Today I am grateful...
- for another sober Monday
- that I am practiced in turning fears over, but am struggling a little bit with not taking them back
- that I can have my home as quiet and peaceful as I want, or I can turn up the music and dance
- that Bunny can be a spazzed out Tasmanian devil, but he melts my heart
- to have what I need for this day
I paid my dues for membership in the program through my years of addictive using. But these are the dues only for membership. In recovery I still need to do my part and accept the responsibilities that come with working the program and following its principles. I am part of a much bigger whole, but I am still only one person. The program provides me with the principles I need to discover the life that is hidden inside of me, the life that my Higher Power wants me to live. I still have to walk the walk. I am given privileges in the program as I get more clean time under my belt. It becomes my responsibility to share in the work of the program. ~Wisdom for Today

Very powerful wisdom quote.
Amen to being responsible for sharing in the work of the program. I'm glad that I started doing that right away at the encouragement of my sponsor.
Hi Bunny.
Yes, Joel is the guy from The Soup.
Is there a competition for the highest jumping tiny dog? Your bunny would win it!
The wisdom quote is a powerful reminder for today.
A spazzed out Tasmanian devil always steals the heart. How can you not smile with all that boundless energy bouncing around. (Hugs)Indigo
turn up the music and dance with Bunny!!!
Mamie is to me what Bunny is to you. Isn't it just too wonderful.
