•Getting to bed early last night, getting some extra sleep and still waking up early.
•Reaching out to a newcomer after the 9:30 yesterday. Knowing he can make it if he stays in the middle of the herd.
•Having two guys in the book. Feeling like I’m able to give back to the program that’s given me everything.
•Feeling Barkley’s breath on my hands as I prayed this morning.
•I know that Barkley is happy. I know that I do my absolute best to love him and care for him every day.
•It’s Wednesday, which means there’s a new episode of Morbid!!
•God offers me a fresh start each day. I don’t need to be burdened or anxious about yesterday. I just need to focus on living the way He wants me to live today.
•I no longer crave chaos or wallow in boredom. Each day brings many beautiful moments of joy, compassion, and insight. Serenity is the forecast of each day.
•Having climbed from the valley of addiction and summited the mountain of sobriety, I know at the very core of my being that I am capable of doing hard things.
•Somehow I’ve become the AA nerd I never wanted to be and I’m okay with that.
God, thank you for my life.
