    24 Hours A Day May 6 AA Thought for the Day I’ve noticed that the ones who do the most for AA are not in the habit of boasting about it. The danger of building myself up too much is that, if I do, I’m in danger of having a fall. That pattern of thought goes with drinking. If one side of a boat gets too far up out of the water, it’s liable to tip over. Building myself up and drinking go together. One leads to the other. So if I’m going to stay sober, I’ve got to keep small. Have I got the right perspective on myself? Meditation for the Day The way sometimes seems long and weary. So many people today are weary. The weariness of others must often be shared by me. The weary and the heavy-laden, when they come to me, should be helped to find the rest that I have found. There is only one sure cure for world-weariness and that is turning to spiritual things. In order to help bring about the turning of the weary world to God, I must dare to suffer, dare to conquer selfishness in myself, and dare to be filled with spiritual peace in the face of all the weariness of the world. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may be a help to discouraged people. I pray that I may have the courage to help bring about what the weary world needs but does not know how to get.

    Wednesday, March 17 Thought for the Day A.A. also helps us to hang onto sobriety. By having regular meetings so that we can associate with other alcoholics who have come through that same door in the wall, by encouraging us to tell the story of our own sad experiences with alcohol, and by showing us how to help other alcoholics, A.A. keeps us sober. Our attitude toward life changes from one of pride and selfishness to one of humility and gratitude. Am I going to step back through that door in the wall to my old helpless, hopeless, drunken life? Meditation for the Day Withdraw into the calm of communion with God. Rest in that calm and peace. When the soul finds its home of rest in God, then it is that real life begins. Only when you are calm and serene can you do good work. Emotional upsets make you useless. The eternal life is calmness and when you enter into that, then you live as an eternal being. Calmness is based on complete trust in God. Nothing in this world can separate you from the love of God. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may wear the world like a loose garment. I pray that I may keep serene at the center of my being.

    I haven't been on here much I'm the last three weeks, and I know I'm not supposed to get my head swole up or nothing, but I just gotta say that today made my 64th day clean and sober!! The last two months have opened my eyes to more about myself and this life than I ever even thought possible to know. I started a great job this past Tuesday, I have a vehicle again, I could go on and on and on with the blessings, but hands down, the biggest one is the complete and total change of heart and mindset that came with getting clean and getting truly honest with myself about some shit. I'm so grateful for my life and all my experiences and every single person I have ever crossed paths with. There is hope, you all. And we do recover, we do change, we do have a chance. We just have to remember it all starts with us. I'm proud of every single one of you. ❤️❤️

    So thought I'd share this. We learn that we dont lose everything in one day and we cant get it all back in one day. That really hit hard with me tonight. I didnt realize how much i had lost while i was in active addiction till tonight. So what happened was that earlier today around 5pm i go and wake up my son kyson from his late nap cause he didnt have one. I pick him up and of course like any 3 year old he was still tired wanting to sleep he clung to me and even fell back asleep while i was holding him while sitting on the coutch. Well i try waking him up by taking him out side and several times i put him down and he just started grabbing my hand and reach up to me wanting me to pick him up n i do so. Well i take him outside n he still just wants me to hold him. Anyway he just wanted mommy today n tonight he tried to go to sleep with me n for the first time in maybe a year and a half to two years i got to sing to him like i used to. I gave away ALOT in active addition but ya know what i gained so MUCH more being sober but i do still have to take it day by day. Im happy thought that my son wants to do things with me n wants me n ive been around ALOT more now too n he sees that. Anyway im getting back what i had givin away n im getting back more then what id ever dream of. My life is turning for the better n im ready for my happy ending with my king and my prince. I wont wish the time away like i used to ill enjoy and savor every moment and not only make it a happy moment to remember but to make it a moment i can NEVER forget nor erase nor be able to push out of my head! Im truly blessed now a days! I got to where i needed to be n the person i needed to be!
