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).

You all may begin signing in again for this new 24. Roster will be posted 24 Hours from
now at 10 pm EST USA 11/18.
It's the little things we need to watch for. It was the straw that broke the camel's back right?
In the past, I was easily annoyed by the littlest of things. My Irish temper. I was a ticking time bomb.
If the remote for the tv wasn't working, I would throw it across the room. To think people
actually got up to turn the channel on their TV at one time lol.
To me as an addict calling a busy number or being put on hold was a traumatic event.
It may not be the major setbacks that will drive us back to a drink or drug, sometimes it is the
little things that tick us off that we really need to watch out for.
Like today, I was doing laundry and I accidently knocked over the liquid laundry detergent lol.
At first I am like Dam*it, Then I just got a mop wet it and decided "Well now is as good a time
as any to mop my floors."
I am not willing to give up my peace of mind so easily anymore.
But little annoyances like this happen so quickly and it could be that perverbial straw that breaks the
camels back. We need to be on watch that we don't over react to the little things.
Today I am practicing "Letting go and Acceptance" when the little stuff happens like a broken
remote or spilled laundry detergent.
I ask myself how important is this really, is it worth giving up my peace over?
I try to remember what it was like for my 100 yr old Grama born in 1912 ( the circus one). She washed her
clothes on one of those old roller wash tubs, hung them up on a line, ironed every piece.
Carried her groceries home from the store with 3 kids in tow.
No microwaves, no TV's , maybe a radio , but I don't think people even had those until the 20's.
Chicago's first radio station was in 1921 by Westinghouse Electric.
And I am annoyed at a broken remote?
So next time I get annoyed I have to remember, I have it pretty good!
It could be worse I could be hooking up my horse and wagon to go into town or be sitting
in a freezing cold home waiting for someone to drop off coal to shovel into my furnace, the
milkman to drop off a bottle of milk and the ice truck to drop off a block of ice for my ice box.
That's ok I'll take a broken remote any day.

Deek, you are spot on! Not going nuts over the small stuff, like the remote...mine was recently having to change the batteries. It was starting to **** me off because I couldn't find the right A batteries. Good reminder, thanks. Oh yes, I am here to check in....it's almost 7:30pm and I happily will go for another 24 hours of sobriety.
