40 months today

Working on my way to four years. Not feeling real well this week but not due to anything to do with alcohol. My resolve not to drink alcohol is as strong as it ever has been. Looking forward to a few days off from work later this week. This post serves as a reminder to myself to not start back up again as I did in the past. Can't count all the times I quit over the years. Not until I made a mental decision and actually convinced myself that I do not want to drink anymore. Until I got that resolve in my heart nothing worked.

As you continue to grow and mature in
recovery and life, remaining teachable
on your journey, stop and smell the roses,
flowers, enjoy the simplest things and
be sure to help others along the way
to continue receiving many wonderful
blessings this world offers to us each
morning we rise and lay down to sleep.

Congrats for many one days sober at
a time..!!!!
