Off to New York City Tommorow I'm flying to NYC to visit my step brother and some friends. This is a special moment in my life. I haven't left Chicago in 5 years and this is my first sober trip. I've been overwhelmed with joy the last few days. Some moments I've been emotional also. The journey of sobriety has been strange and amazing. The first 9 months when I was living in a halfway house I dreamed, hoped, and prayed that I would one day live an incredible life. That time has arrived and it's a beautiful thing. Words dont express my gratitude for this program and the freedom I'm experiencing right now. Hello New York....here I come! |
Wow Chicago! Have a fabulous and safe trip! |
Fantastic! :a122: |

If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. The Promises Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them. Have a great trip. |
