This To Shall Pass

Sometimes life does not turn out as we plan. There are times in life when it’s easy to feel defeated
and just give up and decide to walk through life aimlessly like most people do.

I mean, what’s the point right?

Don’t fall for it.

Everyone goes through times like these at one point or another. Remember that life isn’t a
straight line.

We ARE going to have ups and downs. But we just have to hold on and ride out all of
the downs and enjoy the ups.

I use the motto "This to shall pass", and it always does.

Whatever feelings I am having always pass, good or bad. So I know that if I just ride it out and
not react to those bad feelings that eventually I won't be feeling that way in a short time anymore.

As you know I lost my job a couple weeks ago and I had a choice to wallow in some depressing
feelings or take on the "This To Shall Pass" mentality. So I detached from those feelings, they
didn't take up a whole lot of my time.

Drinking or drugging was never an option.

That period of time did pass, things did change like they always do and I got an even better job.
But this is not about me it's about life.

When people say when one door closes and another opens , it is very true!

Recovery is learning about how to respond to life and not react. Taking pause. Thinking before
we make our next move.. Viewing life from a different perspective.

If you are having a rough day, trust me, those feelings will pass but the consequences of picking
up a drink or drug may follow you for a very long time.

So let's ride those feelings out, they will pass!

*Hard Rock Song For The Day- No Giving Up- Crossfade




Thanks for all the kind wishes to help me feel better!

Attention Everyone- The club has grown so much in the last couple months which is wonderful though making it a challenge to keep track of all of you as far as tracking your clean/sober time and posting your anniversaries. Many of you check in regularly which is awesome. However I will be unable to track the clean and sober time of folks who just come through the club once or twice a month. With working and life it's just not possible.There are to many of you. So If someone has not checked in , in over 2 weeks I can't assume they are coming back or if their date of sobriety is the same.

If you check into the 24 club at least 2x a week, I will keep you on my main master and continue to post your anniversaries.

For those who sign into the club only once or twice a month, That is awesome! I just can't guarantee your anniversaries will be posted. But I will do my best!

I do hope you understand. Thank You!

Another 24 hours here, please! 4:44pm in Southern California. day 17- I haven't heard that in a long time. Can't wait until 30 days. :herewego

Good Day Everyone! Another 24 hours down! Hope you all made it! If not, just
start over. Don't give up no matter what!

If you are new please join us today and make that commitment to stay clean and
sober for the next 24 hours. It is a lot easier staying clean and sober for 24 Hours
rather than looking at quitting for the rest of our lives.

Just post your local time, commit and come back everyday!
Post once daily on this thread. Thanks!

The Value of my Past

There's value in my past? Your kidding right?

That's what I used to think. Never did I think that my past would ever be something
that I would gain anything from.

I just wanted to close the door on it forever. Though it is important for me not to
dwell on the past.

I must remember my past has taught me important lessons and helped me gain
some attributes in the present that I totally lacked back then.

I wasn't the most compassionate person in the past.

I wasn't even that compassionate of a person when I came to SR in Sep 2012. Dee74
closed a thread or two after me, but I needed that too. I was a little hard on some
people.

The past has opened my eyes to a lot of things.

Because of my past I now have compassion for other alcoholics/addicts.

If I was a normie as some call them, I wouldn't have any compassion for people
like myself now cuz I wouldn't understand the chains that bind us.

My past was instrumental in bringing me to where I am today.

It has helped me have compassion for people who have alcoholic/addicts
in their lives.

Compassion for those who suffer from Bi-polar.

It has driven me to forgiveness for others more easily because I have been
forgiven.

I understand how one could mess up bad.

It has given me compassion for homeless people as I lost everything and was
steps from the curb and eating at food pantries.

It has made me grateful for things I took for granted like a bed, a toilet, food.

It has exposed the selfish snob in me who took everything for granted
at one time and thought I was entitled.

It made me more aware of people with physical disabilities as I was
paralyzed in a nursing home.

It has given me more compassion for people in jail for non violent crimes as
a result of their addictions. Been there too!

It has given me a passion for reaching out to others suffering with depression,
alcoholism and addiction.

It has given me understanding, gratitude and empathy for others.

But mainly the desperation of my past forced me to find what really fills that hole
inside and for me it wasn't alcohol,drugs, sex, money or stuff.

I had all of that! I was empty. That wasn't it.

It was when I was humbled by my own self destruction that I realized I wasn't
managing my life to well and I needed help.

When I finally dropped my pride and said God I need you I just can't do this
anymore that the hole inside me began to fill up.

Today I am grateful for my past! It has made me a better person I hope.

If you are new I believe one day you will be able to be grateful for your past
too but in order to appreciate your past you have to make it your past. How?

By not drinking or drugging 24 hours at a time. Those days will add up!!

*Song For The Day - NickelbacK- If Today Was Your Last Day



Prayers for Tetra (eyes).
