Great post Deeker. Ain't nothing for free in life, including life. Takes effort and determination, support, and an unwavering attitude to make changes in that precious life.
Heading to the river for the weekend. I am good for 24 hours at least. Most likely even more.
Thanks Deeker.

God, Please get me out of this!
So often I pray to God for change but the change I am praying for is really
something I have to change in myself. I have to take that first step and
that first step can be the hardest. I have to put forth the effort.
I don't think God is going to pick me up out of bed in the morning and dangle
me like a marionette over my treadmill while the fat melts away.
The things I pray to God to change are usually the things I myself created and
got myself into. Like being over weight. Now I am mad at God for not getting me
out of this situation or this depression. But he didn't make me abuse chocolate
for a year. I put everyone one of those cookies in my mouth.
Well it's the same thing with recovery from addiction. I can't just say a prayer and
expect God to just lift the obsession to use.
I am not saying he can't and I believe he probably will but while I am waiting I have to
remember I got myself into this, I have to take responsibility for that.
If I don't put forth any effort into changing the person that ruined my life
in the first place (me) then I will stay the same.
Just like I am not going to lose weight reading a Weight Loss site.
My bad back is not going to get well reading a Chiropractic site.
My addiction will not be arrested just reading a recovery site.
It's gonna take a little more than that, I have to take one small step to get started.
If it's my back I need to take that information from the Chiropractic site and
put it into action. I need to start slow stretching, not an aerobic workout, nothing crazy.
If it's my weight then I need to take that information from the Weight Loss site and
put it into action, maybe it's cutting out sweets or sodas.
If it's my recovery from addiction, I need not only just read a recovery site but
take the suggestions of those who are staying clean and sober. Retaining Information
alone is not going to keep me clean and sober.
I need to put it into action.
Overeating and having a stiff back can be serious issues.
But I won't go to jail, or get pulled over for a DUI because of them unless
of course I rob the 7-Eleven for donuts in the middle of the night. ; )
But If I don't work towards my recovery I am really screwed, my life is screwed,
my family is screwed, my future is screwed.
My recovery has to be the most important thing in my life today.
So today I have to ask myself what action am I taking towards my recovery?
What tools am I using?
Am I talking to others in recovery?
Am I going to meetings?
Am I working and living the steps?
Am I reading recovery literature?
Am I taking the suggestions of people on SR who have experience and time clean
and sober?
Have I committed to going into SR and asking for help before I use?
Am I doing a daily self inventory and letting go of negative behaviors?
Am I avoiding situations that would put me in danger of relapsing?
What people do I need to let go of?
What boundaries do I need to set?
I know God is going to help, but I have to start by helping myself.
Today let's ask ourselves, What small step do we need to take in the direction
of our recovery?
Your tools may be different than mine, but the point is that we really need tools to
keep our addiction at bay daily and and we need to use them.

Deek thanks you have a great gift.
well another day, I have a dream last night that I drunk and the worst was, that I hide from everybody, I know it was only a dream but I still feel a shame.
ok but for the good news I'm in for another 24 hrs. of happiness, joy and freedom.
