My one goal: to stay clean today

yaaay DAY 17 for me....and today I am now 48 years old.

I'm feeling stronger and stronger, but that's not to say that each moment will be bliss. it's been up and down almost each of these days.

my resolve to stay clean today is HIGH. my determination to practice things in recovery today is high. I committed to chairing a Thursday night meeting and tonight is my first one. i looking forward to doing this again.

I'm gaining a closeness to more people at the alano club and at an NA meeting i've been going to. it helps so much to have these new contacts. I'm gaining confidence in my ability to be a friend. and so i am practicing being a friend more and more. this helps me feel less alone AND connected to life/universe/god/humanity/whatever.

so I re-affirm my goal for the day. my only goal. my goal to stay and live clean today. i will practice new behaviors that will help me stay on the path to completing this goal today. I will go to meetings. i will make a phone call to a recovering person. i will have contact on the Internet with recovering people. I will be open minded and loving and compassionate with those around me throughout my day. I will listen and support the light in those before me today. I will write. I will stay clean!

6 Awe Happy Birthday :day4

I like what you said, re-confirming our recovery. Each day we wake, we must decide at that moment which way we would like to travel. Sometimes it is easier to commit to one way and not the other.

I will be with you on that commitment today, just like I have been again for a few 24's.
