     You not only pass through this world but once but you live this day but once. The opportunities this day presented to do good are lost opportunities tomorrow unless you grasped them in passing.
     Your greatest personal loss in your drinking days was not material but rather it was the loss of many hundreds of opportunities to do those things that make life worth living to you and those around you.
     Those opportunities are gone forever, for you will never live those days again--but you are living today.

Thanks, been realizing lately how many days where I missed out on doing anything at all except for being miserable and drinking.. 21 days sober today and each of those days I have been trying hard to be the best person I can be.

Thanks for the quote, very good and very similar to some affirming reading that I'm doing myself at the mo.

And Steve: big congrats on 21 days (22 by now?)...keep coming back...

Steve
