The first sentence on the AA Today app for January 16th thought is “The A.A. program is more a way of building a new life than just a way of getting over drinking/using” I added using because when I read in A.A. I like to include both as they both apply to my life. So my thoughts on this first sentence is exactly what I have done in my life. I have changed everything from the city I lived in my whole life. I ended a 12yr relationship. Most importantly, I think the biggest change I made was in my spirituality. I have put that first and foremost above all. That’s why I love this program it encourages that and not only encourages it but makes it mandatory! The changes I have made is slowly building me a new life. A new life I can be proud of. A new life of peace. A new life of love that I never knew I had me! Recovery is such a beautiful thing, better than any drink or drug out there! We all should stay focused on this new life and everything it brings! The good and the bad! Ultimately the bad lead me here so we have to be grateful for all of it!
