Enjoying the Journey
I woke up early today, as I don't start my first class until 940. As I sat downstairs listening to music I couldn't help but feel extremely grateful for everything I have. It all began with stopping the drinking and the drugs. Once I took those out of my life I could start to grow. The first year growth was slow, although I had a wonderful support group I wasn't hitting meetings or really working on myself. Slowly, things were changing. The second year of my sobriety I went to AA and started working the steps. That was the best year of my life. Today marks 25 months of sobriety.
So anyways, just started a new job and am about to start my 2nd semester of college today. Lately I have been thinking about trying to enjoy life as much as possible. Looking at the big picture, whether I want to be a nurse, or even a doctor, I want to enjoy the limited amount of life I have. No matter how much time I invest in school LIFE STILL GOES ON. I am really looking for the best quality of life.
I don't know what I'm really trying to say, but everything I have in my life is because of my wonderful friends and family(AAers and SR included). It all began with getting honest with myself. Once I admitted that I couldn't win the battle with drugs and alcohol and SURRENDERED, I could begin to move forward.
P.S. I have been reading a lot of SR lately. You have all been giving me strength to stay sober one day at a time.

Good morning, when we stop as you experienced good things, healthy things fall into place, we have off hours/days sure but in the big picture it's all good.
