Life seems sooooo good!

Jerry F · MIP Old Timer

Aloha Carla!!

I can only assume that you are where you are because you worked to get here.
Maybe others are watching your program rather than theirs? LOL That's a
good way of bumping into something that stops progress (for them). You are
doing great right now and since we can only live in the now... Why would I not
want what you have...right now? I've heard others talk about the pink cloud
and also had a behavioral relapse in the past addressed as falling off of the
pink cloud. Pink clouds describe happiness for me amongst other things. Since
I no longer am in the habit of looking for trouble I enjoy the ride what ever the
color. Keep on keeping on and coming back.

(((((hugs)))))

That pink cloud can last for ever. Those that have said you will fall off are the ones who did! Pay no attention to them. Live your own life in sobriety and just remember to say "thank you" every day you're still on that cloud.

There's a man in a my HG with 40 yrs of sobriety and he swears he's still on the pink cloud.

Ride it , HUn!

(((hugs)))

Hi Carla,

Never experienced a Pink Cloud, so cannot comment one way or another.
But just maybe Life seems sooooo good..........................BECAUSE Life is
soooo good.

Taking in some good deep breaths of Gratitude can make life feel so good always, for me anyway.

Hugs to you, and are you part of that heat wave back East????
Stay cool if that is true.

Oooohhhh the pink cloud...

Don't worry about how long it will last or even if it will disappear.

Just enjoy the ride!

^^^ what he said, what does your question have to do with "one day at a time"?

Sacrifice · Veteran Member

Nothing much I guess St. Pete Dean, I just know how I feel daily and that feeling is a tremendous gift to me and the gratitude of being sober is nothing I could have done by myself. I thank god daily, my boyfriend and my son because without them and A.A. and now all of you, there is no way I could have done this all by myself. Today is the only day I live for and by the way the beach was great today! I just can't ever imagine being who I was, so it's on me to stay the way I am! smile

Communication is the key to my life as well as much of you (I think). Have a good one, and thanks for your reply.

Thx carla for your post. Its been my exp. That the more I live the AA way the better life is. When I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing for my sobriety, it does feel like I'm on that pink cloud. I've had many things happen to me in sobriety that some would say" why are you smiling when such and such is going on in your life". My reply is always the same , dealing with life on life terms w/o a drink or drug is a miracle for me so I'm smiling because I'm grateful to go through whatever life throws me sober. GOD bless and stay strong! Eddie h.

I like this post. It just brightend my day. Thanks.

Sacrifice · Veteran Member

Thank you(kkotz401) I'm glad. Day by day, it's the best way.

I was talking to a friend the other day, and actually told several people that I have had the best 15(almost 16) months of my life, and that if it was time for me to pass away right now; I'm good to go, I have done everything I need to do and do more things daily but my life in these months has been so full of happiness and tears at times, but I have meanded everything I need to and have never been happier.

That's just my thoughts this a.m. Have a great one to all of you.

StPeteDean · MIP Old Timer

Sacrifice, I've said the same thing that you just did, word for word a dozen times. That goes to show you how satisfied with life, with acceptance and gratitude, that you are, and I just can't think of a better way to put then that.

Here's to another 50 years of feeling just like that.

- Right back at you St.Pete Dean, and thank you as well for your response. I wish all of you out there the same joy that I feel. Everyday may not be great,however; the day is what you make it. They say when it rains it pours; but, when it pours it doesn't have to rain! (I hope that makes sense) someone told me that a long time ago.
