Thought for the Day
It's been proved that we alcoholics can't get sober by our willpower. We've failed again and again. Therefore I believe there must be a Higher Power, which helps me. I think of that power as the grace of God. And I pray to God every morning for the strength to stay sober today. I know that Power is there because it never fails to help me. Do I believe that A.A. works through the grace of God?
Meditation for the Day
Once I am "born of the spirit," that is my life's breath. Within me is the life of life, so that I can never perish. The life that down the ages has kept God's children through peril, adversity, and sorrow. I must try never to doubt or worry, but follow where the life of the spirit leads. How often, when little I know it, God goes before me to prepare the way, to soften a heart, or to overrule a resentment. As the life of the spirit grows, natural wants become less important.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that my life may become centered in God more than in self. I pray that my will may be directed towards doing His will.
this grateful inactive alcoholic needs his 24 hrs.

Congrats to aussieblue, Dudette and life1681! Awesome job.
Take care, wildchild69. I do know how bad you feel. Start again and don't give up.
Thanks for all the support and kindness and advice I've received the past day. Both the meeting I went to yesterday and part of a wonderful inspiring sermon at church today talked about the importance of self-care. That is the crux of the issue. I am not taking good care of myself and loving myself by drinking-I am only hurting myself deeply. I am very very grateful to be here today.

I thought I'd share this here since this may help others. We live close to downtown in our city. I could hear something was going on, so we walked down to the park to see what was going on. I thought maybe they were just having a concert.
While they had music going, once we got there, I found out it was a spring time craft beer fest and could smell the beer. Mr. Strat and I decided to get out of there since craft beer was my thing. I kept on thinking of every single one of you here. Biminiblue, which has been a mentor to me in my sobriety journey, suggested that every time you think of drinking, name everyone on the board you can think of that cares that you stay sober. I kept on thinking of all of you here.

Good night Neo!
Way to go strat!......and what a good idea. Once in a while I'll admit that my attitude gets a little flippant even though I know without a doubt my life is better now. Thinking of my connections here is perhaps my single best tool to get through. Also, it's great that your spouse is so supportive.
