How many of us would presume to declare, "Well, I'm sober and I'm happy. What more can I want or do? I'm fine the way I am." We know that the price of such self-satisfaction is an inevitable back-slide, punctured at some point by a very rude awakening. We have to grow or else deteriorate. For us, the status quo can only be for today, never for tomorrow. Change we must; we cannot stand still.

Great find for me today!!! Still working on step four and finding I need to stay busy staying sober. I like the "if I dont change, my sobriety date will!!!" How true is that!!! Have an awesome day!
