After all this time – getting sober, staying sober through all of the ups and downs of my life, watching my friends succeed, or fail, or die – and continuing to trudge through, I sometimes wonder if I should ease up.
It’s easy to do.
But then I remember that I only have today. Today I might be that guy – the one who might make the difference in another person’s life.
I’m not going to ease up. Not today.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
