I rode on the coattails of many members
who learned how to remain sober for a
many one days at a time to get them where
they are in life today. Happy, honest, healthy.
Those folks paved the way for me and others
to follow with willingness, openmindedness
to do whatever it takes to learn to remain sober.
Each day I didn't drink, I listened, learned,
absorbed and applied new lessons to my
everyday life.
Once I learned how not to pick up a
drink of poison to solve my daily problems,
I learned how to accept life on lifes terms.
Accepting people, places and things just
as they are suppose to be because I have
no control over them.
Some lessons in life are hard to accept,
but the key is acceptance and nothing
more.
The work I put into my recovery is the
pay off of receiving the PROMISES as
gifts as stated in the Big Book of AA.
Those gifts are not just written to laugh
at but for us to be grateful for.
Living life in recovery has become my
journey in life. A life where alcohol is
not a part of. Alcohol, a poison that nearly
took me from this life.
A program of recovery was taught to
me 25 yrs ago and I have lived it one
day at a time to get me where I am today.
Healthy, Happy, Honest, blessed, grateful.
My journey continues on today as
I give back, pass on, all the knowledge
of learning how to remain sober one
day at a time passed on to me to others
either still struggling with addiction
or just coming into recovery.
I cant keep the gifts of the Promises
to enjoy and appreciate for myself If
I don't pass on what ive learned.
'Passing It On' is the hope that if I can
remain sober like many others have
one day at a time incorporating tool
and knowledge of a recovery program
taught to us yrs ago then so can you.
Keep It Simple and Follow Directions
