I am here this morning to pledge another 24 hours of sobriety. Back to work today after close to 3 weeks of healing from my last and final alcohol induced accident. Am feeling a bit anxious about how I will get around all the school sites with my assessment tools and stuff w/ the crutches (I have a big backpack I am going to try out) but I know it will be fine. Have a great day everyone. I am really appreciating this site.

good morning inspiring people .
It is a cheap generosity, which promises the future in compensation for the present.
—J. A. Spender
Living in this moment is all we really have. We are constantly bombarded with advice to live for the future, but it perpetually exists beyond our grasp like the carrot tempting the donkey. We are told to be mindful of our career paths, to save for the future, and to sacrifice now for later rewards. We put off spending time with our children, but later they are no longer the same children. We postpone seeing friends now and discover later that we have lost our relationships.
Of course, we can't be foolish about our future. We need to make some plans and delay some immediate pleasures. But for now, we can only have a rapport with others and ourselves and experience life in this moment. The present is the only time when anything can happen, any change can occur. This moment is like a fresh, cool breeze. The rest exists only in our imaginations or memories. May I feel the exhilaration of being alive in this moment and maintain a balance in my perspective today.
today is a holiday here, i spend time with my older grand-daughter. went to movies with one of my sons. is wonderful to be sober and drug free.
24 more for this alcoholic that is learning to love with out expectation .
