Giving Back
Had a great day today. Took a meeting out to a hospital where some people were detoxing. Man it was good for me, because i got to see where i was. I was in those same rooms not too long ago detoxing, and people brought meetings to us. It was good to give back, and actually be the person bringing the meeting to them. All in all it was a great day. Stayed sober for one more day, and i get to do it all over again tomorrow. One day at a time, that's all it takes. I love AA and i love recovery. I couldn't as for anything more today. Life is good, and the friends i have made in AA are awesome. I thank my higher power for you guys, and everything he has done for me today.
*Prayer*
God allow people to treat me tomorrow, exactly how i treated them today.
Keep coming back.

You know in my own early recovery, those that just had a few weeks or so longer than I had, were more interesting to me, than those with 'long time' recovery of say a year or more, lol
Why? I wanted to know how they got past whatever I was experiencing at the moment and in my addled brain they were much 'closer' to me than someone with a year or more. Later in my recovery, as I hit 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, I realized that I was not the only one who felt that way. I really started to understand what 'PLAY IT FORWARD' really meant!!!!
So, with all that said, GOOD FOR YOU (((((MBM))))) for starting early in your recovery to 'Play It Forward' you are helping more folks than you realize!!!!

I am the same way. I really look hard at those people with a month or two hahaha. I never thought about it but you made me think. It's true man, because those people are closer to feeling what you are than anyone else. the guy with 30 years may have forgotten how he felt a month into it. I don't know. But that is very true laurie! Thanks for helping me stay sober today!
