One way is by going to meetings and listening to others tell how they have found all the strength they need to overcome drink. Is my faith being strengthened by this personal witness of other alcoholics?
Meditation for the Day
It is the quality of my life that determines its value. In order to judge the value of a person's life, we must set up a standard. The most valuable life is one of honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love. All people's lives ought to be judged by this standard in determining their value to the world. By this standard, most of the so-called heroes of history were not great men. "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, if he loseth his own soul?"
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be honest, pure, unselfish, and loving. I pray that I may make the quality of my life good by these standards.

I can vividly remember those tired and drained days (my humble take is that those are the times our body is doing the most healing - the times that we need to slow down and give our body the energy it needs to expend to heal).

Really, I'm doing okay but I'm impatient for some more progress. (I do enjoy a good whinge!) I naively really didn't think it would take this long to "reset."
It's sad how I have been tricking myself for years that because things "weren't so bad" I didn't need to face up to things. I've just been grinding along for years. Some good patches, but mostly grinding. Alcohol was my release from this but (surprise, surprise!) has only made things worse.

The days will pass . . . . Learning to really and truly see the goodness in every single sober moment really helped me; it was a turning point for me.

I am here kids and beans.. ended up in ER on Tuesday night..piploic appendagitis (EA) is an uncommon, benign, non-surgical, self-limiting inflammatory process of the epiploic appendices. Other, older terms for the process include appendicitis epiploica and appendagitis, but these terms are used less now in order to avoid confusion with acute appendicitis.... this was one sick clown. in tears. my blood pressure was 133/71 and then they hit me with Lorazepm and fentanyl... knocked me out solid.
It was the flu and cold I have been playing with since Sept 2016..
today I am in tears at the drop of a hat.. Ed says its the come down from the drugs.. kids .. they ask so many questions.. and I had no idea what they were saying.....
but Iam in for another 24 please God help us all.. ardy
