Merry Christmas family!
Permalink  
 

They'll never ever be any rum in the egg nog again and the chestnuts will be 'roasting" not on fire(as I blacked out)I will enjoy fellowship with my God,my family and my friends coherently!There will be gifts because I didnt spend the Christmas cash on the 'next one'.My wife will hold me and tell me she loves me(she better!!!!:)And I thank the grace and mercy of my HP(whom I choose to call God!)for the opportunity to be 'working on a "new way to live"..I wish all peace and serenity thru this holiday season and ask if we can take a moment to reflect on the still sick and suffering who may not yet had a chance to surrender or those who this time of the year may feel pain more than joy. I'LL talk with you on the rebound! peacesmile

Well said Mike! Sobriety is the gift we can give our loved ones and ourselves everyday one day at a time. Peace.

Christmas is very special to me because I surrendered  in December and my first sober Christmas was in 1988. My HP gave me the greatest gift anyone could ever get.

I have found that the greatest gifts in life are free.
Here are but a few:

Love of family,the joy of laughter,kisses,good friends,fellowship,smiles,sunshine,thoughts,kindness,
a listening ear,understanding,sex,and the most important to me
the freedom that comes from Sobriety.

Hope, faith and sprinkled with Love to all,

J.
