And to think I could throw it all away in probably less than an hour...which is about how long it would take me to score or settle for alcohol.
Amazing, isn't it? Our daily reprieve may seem so strong as those years add up, yet it is really so incredibly fragile. It is an absolute god-given miracle that any of us make it out alive! But today, I am alive, and glad of it. Thanks for being here everbody.

Just for today I will not use. I have to remember to keep it "one day at a time" especially now. My resolve is a little shakey. I'm having some physical pain that doesn't want to go away, I'm also feeling a little sorry for myself. Not good things for a recovering addict. Keep posting Lee.
hANG IN THERE dON......stay close my friend!! These funks definitely keep showing up" we are pressed on every side by troubles,but we are not crushed.We are perplexed,but not driven to despair".Thanks for sharing where you are at.Thats how we stay well..I'll pray that the "pain" goes and your inner feelings get back on track..Reach out extra today and "help'' someone else ,guarantee it will help you..(Easy for me,I manage a workshop for "people with disabilities,I just need to turn around when I'm in a funk))Have a blessed day..........

Thanks for the congrats...not for me, but for everyone who helped me get here, stay here, and want to be here. Today, anyway! Because it is ALWAYS only today, only the thoughts, actions, decisions, prayers, calls, meetings, tears, laughter, water instead of wine, for today....this hour, this minute. Yeah, they add up, but it's not about the numbers...not that having the time in doesn't really help...of course it does...but we can never, ever, count on time alone to stand between us and the dope-or whatever-it takes 12 steps to provide some protection, and working those steps is not about time...it's about working those steps. If I stop using this program and everyone in it, the years will mean nothing-I WILL use, and I WILL die.
