24 Hour Recovery Connection Part 322
One of my most vivid memories of early recovery is of a Saturday morning at a gas station. I sat there and watched guys coming out with their cases and six packs. I got out, then back to my car, got out again, then back. Finally I sat there watching and cried like a baby (I'm a middle aged guy!). By some sort of grace I made it home empty handed.
Something equally as vivid to me now is how much I treasure my sobriety and absolutely see it as a gift rather than a deprivation. That shift, however, did take a little time.
Your sober 'muscles' got a great workout. What an accomplishment to push through that challenge! When you first wake today, in the still of the morning, you'll have no regret and can quietly smile to yourself.

"Every single day is an opportunity for you to start anew; I call this my '24-hour Reset Button.' Each new day stands alone and brings you another chance to move closer towards your goals, so make each day a Great Day!"
