Today I’m grateful for many people, places and things. I’m especially grateful to the newcomers. Tonight at an AA meeting many chips were given out for different lengths of sobriety. One person got his three month chip and turns out ended up speaking at the speaker meeting. I felt so proud of him. It really hit me how much his journey has been a blessing for himself and everyone in the room. Personally I have witnessed him work so hard by showing up, doing the work, listening to suggestions, letting go to a higher power, getting a sponsor, etc. He has helped me in my sobriety. The freshness of the newcomer helps me stay in the day and in check. So a shout out to all of us with different lengths of sobriety. Different ways of staying sober. Let’s keep fighting the addictions that want us miserable, or dead.
