If The World Was Ending In 24 Hours.....
...would you go out and have another drink? Or use substances??
Something that I was talking to my mates about last night and I actually shocked myself by saying that I wouldn't. I have peace, serenity and love in my life today and whether the world was ending or not I wouldn't trade it! I believe that if I did drink or take drugs again I wouldn't experience anything at all for my last twenty four hours.
And I further suprised myself by saying that I would rather spend my last twenty four hours in an AA meeting than anywhere else!! There was a time I would have rather watched paint dry than go to a meeting! Now I'm actually choosing one as the last thing I'd like to do.
Am aware that I have to keep it in the day but my recovery is going fantastic for these twenty four hours at least.
Life is good

I totally agree....
I'd call my family and friends who don't live close
for a final farewell
Take my keys and go open our AA meeting hall.
Put on the coffee...take my favorite chair ...and
know I did my best.
Recovery ...what a glorious blessing!

I would make every effort to let those that I love and care for know how I felt and try to help others in any way I could whether it would be talking, hugging, listening. I would want to be with as many of my family and loved ones as possible and considering that some of my loved ones are family members in my home group that would mean being with AA members as well as blood family and friends.
No, I wouldn't want to waste the time left oblivious. I wouldn't even want to sleep, much less be passed out or heaven forbid blacked out!
Interesting topic!
