There was a time when I didn’t think I would survive very long. I could not foresee what my life would be like if I did make it.
By taking care of each day, one day at a time, I have survived.
My life did not unfold as I ever imagined it would. I am Blessed beyond what I ever deserved.
Today is a gift. I look forward to opening it.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I can’t please everyone. I just need to be consistent in what I do and how I treat people.
I need to accept others for how they are, whether it pleases me or not.
I must trust God to guide me in how I treat others today and to help me accept them as they are.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
When I was lost, I wasn’t very good at asking for directions. I pretended to know what I was doing until I found that I felt totally alone.
I had abandoned all good sense and had ventured into a dark place that I couldn’t return from on my own.
I did not realize that God was with me all along. He put people into my path to show me the way and give me direction.
I must always remember that I am not alone. God is always with me, using others to lead me to the right way to live.
I am grateful for the angels God has sent to help me.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Regardless of my present circumstances, how I am feeling, or what I am thinking, I need to put my recovery ahead of everything.
Anything that I put above my recovery I will lose – including my sobriety … including my soul.
Each day I must remember that I am an alcoholic. My alcoholism never goes away, as much as it tells me that it’s ok to drink.
Every day I ask God for help. Every day I remind myself that I only get a daily reprieve when I put my trust in God’s Care.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I hope that I am not judged for my shortcomings. Each of us falls short sometimes.
I hope that I can be understanding enough so that I don’t judge others.
I hope that if I am judged, it is for never giving up on myself.
God never gives up on me.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
When I realized that I needed God’s Help in order to get sober, I really didn’t know how to go about doing that.
I was told to get on my knees and pray – every morning and every night.
I wasn’t so sure it would work, but I was assured that it was the only way.
After a while, I realized that the desire to drink was lifted. I can’t say exactly when it happened, but it did.
I had finally found a practical use for God. Over time, by turning my will and my life over to God’s Care I have become useful to God.
Funny how that works.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Having been spared from a life of endless misery, I have an obligation to try to help someone else.
Carrying the message is my responsibility.
Of course I cannot change anyone. But I can share how I have changed, in hopes that it may give someone else hope.
Sharing the gift is the only way I get to keep it.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
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.
