good morning amazing people
Thought for the Day
If we're going to stay sober, we've got to learn to want something else more than we want to drink. When we first came into A.A., we couldn't imagine wanting any thing else so much or more than drinking. So we had to stop drinking on faith, on faith that some day we really would want some thing else more than drinking. But after we've been in A.A. for a while, we learn that a sober life can really be enjoyed. We learn how nice it is to get along well with our family, how nice it is to do our work well whether at home or outside how nice it is to try to help others. Have I found that when I keep sober, everything goes well for me?
Meditation for the Day
There is almost no work in life so hard as waiting. And yet God wants me to wait. All motion is easier than calm waiting, and yet I must wait until God shows me His will. So many people have marred their work and hindered the growth of their spiritual lives by too much activity. If I wait patiently, preparing myself always, I will be some day at the place where I would be. And much toil and activity could not have accomplished the journey so soon.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may wait patiently. I pray that I may trust God and keep preparing myself for a better life.
24 more please for this alcoholic , happy joyous and free.

Yay, milestoners!!
Hey efra, nice to see you. It's been awhile- is it you or me?
A lot of stuff going on a the moment. I can't say it enough- I am extremely grateful for sobriety and will try to remember to *never* take it for granted.
Another Dr. Seuss-
'Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.'
My theme for the coming week and beyond.
24 more hours please.
