I was in search yesterday to find a clear
coffee mug/cup so that I could see the
froth more clearly in my cup. Anyway,
I found a good size mug at Wally World
which was a "beer mug" Rootbeer Mug
or a ice cream float mug.

Later yesterday while watching tv, a
commercial came on where a beer mug
was slid across the counter and triggered
an unhealthy drinking thought. However,
even with a many one days sober, im
not exempt from those poping in at anytime,
at any place.

Thank God or my HP- Higher Power of
my understanding I have been taught
about my addiction and its affects on
my mind, body and soul as well as those
around me.

Thank goodness for a program of recovery
to incorporate in my everyday life and in
situations that cropped up yesterday.

Listen, Learn, Absorb, Apply all there is
about addiction and live a sober life with
willingness, openmindedness and honesty
for many yrs. to come.
I hope my friend that in 23 years those thoughts will be occasional for me. Instead of every freakin day! Nice wisdom in your post as always ;-)
