Bowling....Strike'em all down Kelly. But most of all
have fun.

We can have fun in recovery and thats the whole point
of it is, along with living and working a recovery program
that will and can keep us sober for a lifetime of many one
days at a time.

For 20 yrs sober I have seen members come and go and
many that have remain sober or clean for a substantial
period of time. With all that that has gone on around me,
I continue to stand fast with my recovery because this way
of life is not only important to me but also rewarding.

Even tho the fellowship is awesome in recovery, I have to
remember that everyones has their own recovery program
to work for themselves as I do for me. I also have to remember
Im staying sober for myself and no one can keep me sober
but me no matter how much support I have. The williness
to go to any lengths to stay sober is important.

Using the fellowship to ur advantage but also stay sober for you
and no one else. The rest will follow such as your Higher Power.

Your Higher Power can be as simple as just being grateful that
you have come this far being sober and having the opportunity
at this time to be taught about your alcoholism. Just being grateful
and excited to have a new day sober. If you can honestly feel that
deep within ur heart and soul then u are doing good.
