How many of the world's prayers have gone unanswered because those who prayed did not endure to the end? ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day
.
Today I am grateful...
- for forgiving friends like the one with whom I had dinner plans last night but completely forgot about
- that I was able to make the 12:15 meeting yesterday where Kimberly gave her story life punctuated with language from our Big Book
- to watch recovery shine through others
- to have observed that if one keeps coming back, there is hope and a great chance for getting and staying sober
- that by my staying sober the strength of recovery extends past my own self
Luckily, we don't need to know what we are becoming to find peace. What we need to know is what we believe in. And we'll become what we believe in. If we believe in sobriety, we'll be sober. If we believe in honestly, we'll struggle to be more honest. We must give ourselves the freedom of becoming. Becoming means we're on a trip, a journey. Over time, becoming takes on a comfort of its own. ~Keep It Simple

I believe your right.
I gravitate towards people who have recovery shining through them.
Dave, my right what?
Start making to do lists!
Thanks Scott! I needed all these bits of wisdom this AM
I'm learning to believe more in me. And that has been a struggle.
I waited at the restaurant for hours last night.
I like that thought, the freedom of becoming...(Hugs)indigo
Oh yes I certainly identify.
