| The Here and Now.
As an alcoholic, I understand the importance of staying in today, in the here and now. I am continually reminded of how bad things were for me and what happened and what it is like for me today. No matter how bad things get, it could always be worse and I am give no guarantee for tomorrow. Today I was at the gymn after my workout. The gym plays good old time music, songs that are classic now. Everyone that knows me is aware that I have a wide variety of music in my collection, from Mozart to Mustaine, I ams eclectic as I can be. I was chirpin along to some classic on the system at the gym when from behind me a youngster says; 'was this ever cool'? I told him that yes, at one time it was very cool, but it is even cooler today, because it has stood the test of time. For myself, the importance of yesterday is as critical as staying in the here and now. I no longer have to slam the door on my past. It happened, I am good with it, I embrace it for giving me today and forming me like refined gold. I thank AA for giving me another chance today, and that sobriety has stood the test of time for me and refined me through the 12 Steps.

"We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others." That's a promise..............if we are painstaking about this phase of our development......step nine. Thanks for sharing hammer............so true. I pray you are well.................toad
