One gift of my life is that I get to spend time with people I love. The more, the better. This life is not meant to be consumed with struggles. It is meant to be spent connecting with others. That’s where I find God. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You.…

There are a lot of things that I am happy about and very few things that I’m unhappy about. The only thing they have in common is me. Attitude is everything. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

The rest of the world kept moving on when I first stopped drinking. No one stepped aside and noticed that their life had changed because it didn’t. If I was looking for praise, it was an example of my self-centeredness and ego. Getting sober is very personal. It’s humbling. It’s scary. No one understands an…

Those of us who have been touched by the true generosity of others – generosity of spirit – experience love. When I have been affected by that kind of love, I feel compelled to share it. Sharing love with another person causes love to grow. We are not walking through this life single-file, but shoulder-to-shoulder.…

Trying to make big changes in me is difficult to sustain, no matter how much the change is necessary. It’s like trying to “eat an elephant” at one sitting. Making small changes in me, one day at a time is sustainable. They add up to big changes over time. I need to start by committing…

If I don’t like the way I’m living, I should change it. If I don’t how to change, I should ask someone who has done it. If I think it’s too hard to change, then maybe I don’t want it badly enough. I only have so much time until I reach my expiration-date. I had…

We don’t always know our effect upon others when we show kindness and compassion. Depending upon how someone is feeling, it could be the one thing that reminds them that they matter. Everyone is going through something. For some, it may seem unbearable to them. They’re just not wearing a sign. I must remember where…

I used to think that if I could control my drinking, I would be ok. That’s a serious joke. Anything that I need to control is already out of control. For me, it’s all or nothing. I had to learn the hard way, but I get it now. If I fool myself into thinking it…

If everyone just kept to themselves and didn’t look out for others, where would I be? When I was desperate, the connection with other people saved me. They knew the right way to go. I just needed to be willing to follow them. Right place. Right time. One person needing help. Many people willing to…
