Taking Just A Little
If we are trying to stay clean and sober while drinking a little beer or smoking a little pot, we are missing the mark. We can never know sobriety and cleanness under those conditions. Our programs cannot be effective or honest if we use any type of mind-altering chemical.
If you sincerely want the freedom, serenity, and joy of a drug-free existence, doing "a little" will never get it for you. Have I learned that taking just a little invariably ends up in taking way too much?
Higher Power, show me the ways I try to trick myself into using
mind-altering chemicals and keep me from them.
Today I will remember my powerlessness by::??
Well I guess that I am on a different level here because I am not using or drinking but today I am powerless over people, places and things, I have to choose how I act today and try and remember that day in and day out...I have done something different today, and I am proud at the way I have handled this, instead of reacting like you all have known me to do here at SR...Today I am grateful for a little growth...
