Woke up full of gratitude for the peace and calmness I have on the inside, while life spins uncontrollably on the outside. I not only needed to stop drinking and drugging, but I also desperately needed a daily program to follow and live by. I desperately needed friends I could relate to. I’m very grateful today to have found the solution to my problems. I don’t always feel well, and I can get frustrated with the people in and out of my meetings, but I don’t have to drink or get high about it anymore. The quick fix of temporarily escaping life and pain with substances or behaviors is only a fleeting thought today. By practicing a daily program of recovery, I’m mindful of my truth. I know where I will end up if I choose the quick fix. I’ve tried it over and over again for too many years. I do step 1 every morning to keep it fresh. This disease is cunning, baffling, and powerful. I take my medicine every day in order to avoid my mind from twisting reality in order to get me to pick up. Have a blessed and sober day my friends
