For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord!
And this will be a sign for you [by which you will recognize Him]: you will find [after searching] a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger

I haven't been here a lot lately. Bot I wanted to check in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I have been sober for almost 5 months now and this is my first sober Christmas in a long time. Yay!

Merry Christmas everyone... have a peaceful, blessed day!

wishing you all a bless day and happy joyous and free.


We have no right to ask, when sorrow comes, Why did this happen to me? Unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.

—Philip S. Bernstein


All of us have reasons to be grateful. Usually, the word implies we have received something. We often think of gratitude as that warm feeling we get from someone else's generosity. We are particularly grateful when we get unexpected gifts from those who owe us nothing. Within a family, we expect such acts of love because we are close to one another.

But gratitude doesn't always come from being a receiver. Gratitude is warmest when it accompanies the joy of being able to give without expecting anything in return. We find it isn't enough to feel grateful. We have to express our gratitude by showing kindness and service to everyone around us.

Gratitude is the greatest of all heart-openers. When it enters the heart, love pours out. For every kindness we receive, gratitude inspires a hundred acts of giving.

How can I show my gratitude today?

24 more please .

Boxing Day Dec 26th 2016.
When we free ourselves from the drinking game we find we have so much more time at our disposal.
With clear heads we can pursue healthy, creative, interesting, and meaningful pursuits. There is so much out there....
