Today I can be a service to another aclcoholic :)
Good Morning to all from day 1 to years. So happy and blessed once again to have awoke sober and had the peace and serenity to meditate and read this morning. 
When I was drinking I rarely thought of helping others, I always thought I did and I was such a nice guy for it. But, as sobriety keeps coming and I keep learning from it. I am reflecting that as tho I was and am I kind caring person, I wasnt so then. I only helped when it was convenient and condusive to me. I always like to buy drinks for people , but only because it made me feel like a "big shot". But in turn I only used people for my own pleasure.
To really go out and help somebody who needed help I thought about but never came into action. All talk till the bottle took away the memory of that thought. But since coming in to AA I truly began to not only help myself but to help others . And in that I always knew that it made me happy but, had no idea really how good it feels. And also it has become my foundation to help me stay sober.
So with that each day I promise to help myself and do at least one kind thing for someone else. And have learned the key to that is helping without ever telling anyone you did.
I hope all enjoy another sober 24hrs, and those new or stuggling please just hang in there a moment at a time. And get yourself a program I obviously use AA , but we do not hold the monopoly on sobriety . So find something you can believe in and grab on to it, for it shall save you and make your life wonderful.
Cup of coffee and the day is a new .
I dont thank everyone enough for reading my daily threads and SR for giving me this place to express it. SO THANK YOU ALL
Good love, Inda

Not being cocky, arrogant, a know it all,
set high on a pedalstool, smarter than
you additude, I humble myself with graditude
and help and share my own experiences,
strengths and hopes of what it was like,
before, during and after my drinking career
to those still struggling with addiction.
In doing so, not only am I helping myself
stay sober one more day, but to give hope
to others that they too can stay sober under
all sorts of obsticles in life.
I enjoy traveling along side so many in
recovery on a daily bases.
