I once thought that I couldn’t get through a day without alcohol. It seemed impossible.
I have found that without alcohol, anything is possible. Without alcohol, I may become the person I was meant to be.
I see it in others. I see it in me. The transformation is astounding.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I have a lot of special people in my life. I am very Blessed.
The youngest of my three children is one of the brightest lights of my life. I am very proud of the man he is, and I admire him for the genuine, fearless, and loving person he has become.
He truly is a Gift from God.
Happy Birthday Matthew.
Thank You God.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I cannot control what other people do. Each of us is responsible for our own “side of the street”.
So, if I have a problem with what someone else is doing, I am the one with the problem.
Everyone has their own destiny. Everyone finds their way.
Everyone has their own Higher Power, whether they see it yet or not.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
When bad things happen, I am inclined to ask “Why me?”.
But when good things happen, I am inclined to just happily accept it and never ask.
Everything that happens in my life has a purpose. Everything that happens has a gift within it.
The course of my life is not random. My story is being written every day. I should look at each challenge with curiosity rather than dread. I should always look for The Gift which God is revealing to me.
My life is the most wonderful Blessing from God. I am thrilled to be living it.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Building something good takes a whole lot longer than it does to destroy it.
Getting sober is a slow process. It requires daily attention.
If I am not vigilant in my recovery – doing the things I must each day, I can easily become complacent.
Complacency and carelessness are the beginning of the destruction of my life.
Today is the most important day of my life. I must live with gratitude for today.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
New beginnings happen every day. They are an opportunity to pursue a happy life.
It makes me happy to see two people commit their lives to each other forever.
My hope is that every new day is happier than the last one for everyone. My hope is that everyone may see the Blessings that God brings them.
I hope I can do what it takes to be happy each day.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
My words and actions have an effect on those in my life whether or not I realize it.
Others cannot see how I feel – only what I do.
Feeling love and compassion is different than showing love and compassion.
Showing love and compassion is always remembered – by others and by God.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I really like it when things are calm around me. It makes it easier for me to notice the calm inside me and to feel happy.
Of course the calm around me will change soon enough, so I need to appreciate the peace while it lasts.
I have more control over the peace inside of me. Taking the time to quietly connect with God brings that peace.
I’m grateful for the peace in my soul.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Things always have a way of working themselves out. Instead of trying to affect outcomes to my liking, sometimes it’s better stand back and do nothing.
Worry and impatience are a waste of energy. Time takes time.
God always has the answers. It’s always best for me to wait for God.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
When I stopped drinking, the rest of the world didn’t slow down to accommodate me. I had to adjust everything about me – no one could do it for me.
I am responsible for my recovery. There are no acceptable excuses. I cannot pin my failings on anyone else.
This is serious. This is life and death. This isn’t a hobby. I may never get a second chance.
But there are others like me who have found a way to recover. I followed their direction. I found that God had been carrying me all along.
Surrendering my life to God saved my life. But I still have work to do.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
