Just Glad
Nothing chirpy or funny or witty or meaningful to say today. Just glad to be here clean and sober. I realise today that its such a gift.

You are correct sobriety is a wonderful gift as is the peace of taking your addiction in hand and dealing with it rather than running from it.
Keep posting and stay tuned, life gets better day by day.

Most important thing is to value yourself and to help others as you are able.

I'm just glad yesterday is past. It was a grumbly one.
I'm glad that today I have the option of making it a better day.
I'm glad that no matter how grumbly I get to feeling, it doesn't compare to the messed up out of control feeling of being drunk or hungover.
I'm glad that you started this thread so I can look at all you guys being silly today on the serenity bench.

I'd like to stop by the bench too. Can never be enough serenity around--or too many friends!
Coincidentally, today's reading in the book we use for the Saturday meetings was all about Serenity.
Here's some excerpts:
...to have a crisis and act upon it is one thing.
To dwell in perpetual crisis is another.
--Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
I will take action against every crisis confronting me--I will turn to God.
Each crisis is an invitation to serenity.
from "Each Day a New Beginning" by Karen Casey

Plenty of room on the bench
I could have a lazy day today but I think I will do a liitle housework and a bit of work too and maybe hit a meeting later.
Still grateful for this precious gift of life.
