Great post and definitely something for all of us to keep in mind! We have some really nasty weather coming through tomorrow and I'm sitting here listening to the wind and rain tonight. With possible severe storms and tornadoes predicted for tomorrow, it got me thinking about how many times I put myself at risk in the past during severe weather because of my drinking. I can recall a few times where we had tornado warnings and I was too drunk to care to take cover. Had something actually happened I would have been in trouble!

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). http://img-s3-01.mytextgraphics.com/...a34a282d44.gif The 24 hour club is always located in Newcomer Daily Support Threads, Go To SEARCH on blue tool bar and type in Newcomer Daily Support Threads and click GO. This is Part 25,God Bless![/QUOTE] |
I love this club Thanks Deeker and Carlotta for all your hard work. think i might be getting addicted to it .first thing i do when i wake. I feel I would let everyone down if I had a drink 24 more for me please. Have a good day everyone |
In for another day, |
I'm in for another amazing 24 hours of experiencing clarity and being conscientious of my actions and decisions. Wish you ALL another spectacular sober Sunday instead of a sad, sorry spectacle of a Sunday which was what mine turned into with the liquid poison... Feeling free, feeling like ME again. So grateful !!!!! |
Checking in from Ashburn, VA at 4:54am. |
Signing in at 5:32am from east Texas. |
5:50 am in Houston - In for another 24 on Day 3. Thanks Deeker for "The Value of the Past." It is the past but has some valuable lessons. Not all was bad, so I'm looking to take the positive wisdom I have gained from it. One thing I always remember is how good PT would make me feel afterwards. I get this natural high feeling. A funny thing is I like to meditate when I run. So - I'm going to hit the bricks this morning. Have a blessed and sober day everyone. |
