Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the rewards that would be mine when I first contemplated turning my life and will over to the care of God, as I understand God. Now I can rejoice in the blessing of my own recovery, as well as the recoveries of countless others who have found hope and a new way of life in the Program. After all the years of waste and terror, I realize today that God has always been on my side and at my side. Isn't my clearer understanding of God's will one of the best things that has happened to me?
Today I Pray
May I be thankful for the blessed contrast between the way my life used to be (Part I) and the way it is now (Part II). In Part I, I was the practicing addict, adrift among my fears and delusions. In Part II, I am the recovering addict, rediscovering my emotions, accepting my responsibilities, and learning what the real world has to offer. Without the contrast, I could never feel the joy I know today or sense the peaceful nearness of my Higher Power.
Today I Will Remember
I am grateful for such contrast.

Hey Tasha, ... ... ... When I was growing up and got hurt, my Dad use to always tell me, 'That just means you'll feel a whole better when you get well' ... ... ... (or when it stops hurting) ...
We all have experienced some degree of pain, that just means some of us have more to be grateful for now that we're living sober ... whether we are 'happy' or not is up to the individual ... I know some who insist on being or staying miserable ... I insist on enjoying life now that I KNOW God is in charge ...
