One of my AHA moments in sobriety was suddenly becoming aware that it was not all about me anymore, I had become a part of the world, I was a part of something far greater then me, I had become part of We!!!

I found myself thinking of what I could do for others rather then what they could do for me.... and I am far happier that way, I am not dissappointed anymore because I really do not expect anything, yet for some odd reason I am always getting something.... a smile on someones face, a feeling of joy in some one elses success, a simple good feeling of being a part of something good. The more I give away the more I seem to get.

In regards to material things I have found I always get what I need, not what I want.... but that is okay, that is okay. I have all I need, what more can I want?
