Monday, start of working week here.
Don't want to sound nasty, but was thinking about all those suffering varying degrees of hangover and off to their jobs, Been there, done that.
Sound like just one reason for 24 more please. Thanks.

I hate to ruin the mood, but I'm going to have to reset my clean date from April 21 to July 20. I drank a bottle of wine Friday night - for some stupid reason I blew it all, after 90 days, the longest I have ever had. It's been a weekend of hangover and depression, but I'm okay now and looking forward to the week ahead.

It's 8:04 pm in Texas, so please give me 24 hours of sobriety. And thank you all for being here.

Gratitude


Did you know that being grateful for our blessings and expressing
gratitude has a strong correlation with increasing our personal
happiness and well-being.

Being grateful plays a critical role in human happiness.

Gratitude is literally one of the few things that can measurably change
people’s lives.

Dr. Emmons a leading scholar at The Univ Of California and his
colleagues found scientific proof that people who practice gratitude
through activities such as keeping a gratitude journal are more
loving, forgiving, and optimistic about the future. They exercise more
frequently, report fewer illnesses, and generally feel better about their lives.

There was a time when I was not grateful and took my life for granted.
Then I lost all use of my arms and legs and couldn't do the simplest things.
Today I am so grateful just to scratch an itch.

I also took for granted that I had a decent place to live that met all
my needs but I complained and whined as it was not good enough.
(Mom's House)

Then I went to a Men's NA meeting at the Homeless Coalition in
Orlando Florida. Yes , Mens.

I am a woman and they welcomed me with open arms. I mean literally.
They knew what it was like to really need a meeting and they were not going
to deny me recovery.

These people were so humble and thankful for what they had. A simple
cot, food and clothing. I did not hear one ounce of self pity the whole time
I was there.

They were at the bottom rung of life materially but
what they had at that time was more than I had ever had
in my whole life and that was gratitude, humility, and believe it or not joy!

They showed me that I could have all the material wealth in the
world and not be happy.

They also showed me that it wasn't what they had on the outside but
what they had on the inside. And you know what? It showed on the outside.

They found recovery, and true fellowship with other recovering addicts
and those down on their luck. But most of all they had found God.

I realized when I left there after hanging out with them shooting the
breeze and smoking cigarettes that I would be just fine even if I was to
find myself in a homeless shelter.

I bet they had no idea that they had given me a gift that day when I left.
But They did. And for that I will be forever grateful.

Today..... Let's find something to be grateful for

* Song For The Day- Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins





If you struggled this weekend or had a slip, please don't give up, just come back and keep working at it. We want to help and we do care!

Thanks deeker!! Wehav here signing in for another 24 and 5 months . We can do this, guys!!

LoVe this thread. When I'm too tired to post elsewhere or lately crazy busy there is always enough time/energy to just ask the universe for another 24 hours sober. This has saved me from drinking maaany times. Thank you all.

Hi Guys, sorry for the no-shows over the past few nights. I went camping with my AA friends and had a blast! Who knew camping sober could be so much fun?

So I am still here, still sober, and so glad to be with you! See you all tomorrow, same place.

In and out in DC @ 10:30PM EST.

I am in for another day..

For 24 hrs I shall stay dry..

Gratitude is the topic today...

When I first came in the rooms of AA, I heard that Gratitude is a action word, and I didn't quite know what that meant.. I stuck around awhile and I found out..

And my sponsor taught me this, which I do often..

Do something nice for someone today ~ and don't tell anyone about it..

That just one way of how I show and keep my gratitude for what I have, that which is the most important is my sobriety..

Good love gang ... Happy...

Bobbi here, at 10:10pm again. I let my Sponsor go today. I was nervous, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings either. Well, as usual, I worried too much. She wished me well, etc etc. Then told me it was a good decision for her too. She's got a lot of work going on, and it was getting difficult to fit me in the schedule. We didn't see each other much either. This is a No Matter What Club for me & my recovery. So , YES, going forward with another 24 hours.
