Today is November 26, 2005 A Great Day for Recovery!
RECOVERY
"There is a destiny that makes us brothers, none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others come back into our own." -- Edwin Markham
I can remember when I felt so isolated and alone. I used to look at people talking with their friends, families playing in the park, lovers holding hands, and I felt so different and awkward. I always looked at life from the outside. I was the guy without an invitation to the party. The symptoms of addiction!
Today I know that my actions and behavior around alcohol reinforced these negative and destructive feelings. By my drinking I was perpetuating the painful disease in my life.
Sobriety led me into fellowship with others; it brought me into the family of recovering people. Today I am not alone. I have over a million brothers and sisters living a day at a time in a spiritual program. I have countless thousands finding joy, peace and serenity in sister programs. Today I belong in this world.
O God, thank You for giving me the need to give so that I might receive.

hi Cheri!!!!
how are you doing???
i'm actually doing better than i thought i would,,,just goes to show that what i fear is not usally as bad as i think it will be...:)
i gotta say i'm enjoying my little second job. Seeing so many different new faces everyday...not to mention some good looking ones:)
Got rid of the boyfriend a couple of weeks ago but then he called me the other day...hes hard to let go of. But i know in my heart that he's not good for me. I'll keep praying on that one...
I'm finally getting my car on the road today!!!! i'm sooo excited!!!!
i plan on driving myself to an 11 am meeting tomorrow. Been way to long since i';ve been to one. I'm on a good path today. I refuse to drink today, its just simply not an option.
We have Grey Cup game tomorrow, always a drinking thing that Grey Cup.....i'll watch but no booze. Today its not i think i can....But i won't.
A Great Day for Recovery!
