Good morning at 7:21 a.m, also from wet, wild, windy and warm Chicago! I would like another twenty four hours please. Day six and I woke refreshed and not so sweaty this a.m so it seems the mild withdrawals are getting better. And my face is starting to break out again which happened last time I had been sober for a length of time, so good? sign 
I could see peace instead of this

11:08 am central time and winter is here with the first bright, white snowfall!
Please give me another 24.
Thank you deeker. I just love this: "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."

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), for ZeldaFan( Safety in storms), DaneK, GypsyHeather, Avra and LindaLou ( added inspiration).
trikyriky, Westpark707, Malachi (for their safe return).
Oh my goodness I feel good today! Didn't cough the whole night! Thank you so much for the prayers!! They worked again!
