Applying wisdom to my actions

Sorry about the duplication. I'm still trying to figure out how this site works. ~Kate

being the best I can be....not drinking's a part of that, but only a part. I gotta remember that.

Good Post!

What matters to me is:

1. Keeping the focus on MY recovery instead of someone else that doesn't appreciate me.

2. Liking myself and doing good for others.

3. Trusting that i will trust again someday :) BIG ONE!!

Thanks!

What matters to me is to try and not obsess over what I think matters to me ;)

Experience has shown that I don't always know what's good for me. I think I know what I want, but by the Grace of God I have what I need.

To not drink.

To encourage someone.

To be honest and kind.

To remember I am not alone in this.

Continue to give my daughter to God. I can't, He can. Continue to work on forgiving her in my heart while not losing the lessons that her addiction have taught me. Pray. Hugs, Marle

Recovery means so much more than not drinking for me, today.

It means doing the next right thing, even when it hurts, or feels uncomfortable.

Thanks for the thread, K.

great idea for a thread!

1) not picking up

2) recognizing my sobriety is God's doing and nothing i did

3) maintaining gratitude and remembering the last day out there

4) acknowledging perfection is impossible and progress is the key

5) practicing the principles in all my affairs

6) seeking out new-comers and sharing my experience, strength, and hope
