20 Months
I checked my email this morning and there was a reminder from the SR Calendar that I have 20 Months clean and sober today. First Time I had not remembered!
Its late Sunday Morning I slept for 12 hours because I felt unwell yesterday (may have a tocuh of food poisoning). I am up and about feeling a bit better. Missed my Home Group last night, Dad Died just over 3 weeks ago, want a new car a bike and a partner, more more more......
You all get the idea, "poor me, poor me, pour me a drink". truth is I am looking after myself and doing all things I need to in recovery, the things that got me well physically and keep me well now, the program also gets me well mentally, emotionally and spritually. I can't sit back and watch TV just because I am clean now, I do the footwork daily and the results take care of themselves. I have 'Faith' that this prgram takes care of us, even after things I have been through recently, in fact my faith is confirmed and stronger.
Even after 20 months, I am aware that this dis ease is there, waiting, doing push ups, getting stronger. I can't afford to ignore my disease or become complacent, so I wake up, talk to God, read some literature, go to meetings, talk to my sponsor and other members.
18th Jan was my daugthers 21st and we had a fanatastic evening at a Restaraunt on the Quay in Melbourne. I have no immediate problems and those that I have are 'gold' they help keep me on track.
Still best from Day one of recovery for me, is waking up in the morning, with a clear head and a light heart, dancing and singing.
Thank you all for being here.
Love Kevin
PS I love being present all the time, I am so grateful for this day.
