The best way for me to show gratitude is to share what I have been given with others.
My sobriety is a gift from God.
I cannot take my sobriety for granted. It is not an accessory of my life. It is central to everything in my life because without it I lose my soul.
So, when someone is trying to get sober it is essential to my sobriety to help them. It doesn’t matter how many times they have tried and failed. If God hasn’t given up, neither should I.
Without gratitude I cannot stay sober because I will forget what I am – an alcoholic.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
