Thought of the day 

  We never have to drink or use again, no matter how we feel. 

All feelings will eventually pass." 

++++++++++    

  It hurts like never before. You get out of bed after a sleepless night, talk to God, and still don't feel any better. "It will pass," a little voice tells you. "When?" you wonder, as you pace and mutter and get on with your day.

You sob in your car and turn the radio all the way up so you 

can't hear your own thoughts. But you go straight to work, 

and don't even think about drinking or using drugs.

Your insides feel as though they've been torched. Just when the pain becomes unbearable, you go numb and silent. You go to a meeting and wish you 

were as happy as other members seem to be. But you don't relapse.

You listen to a Fifth Step. You share at a meeting. 

You look at the calendar and realize you've gotten through

 another day sober and clean.

Then one day you wake up, look outside, and realize it's a beautiful day. 

The sun is shining. The sky is blue. 

You take a deep breath, smile again, and know that it really does pass.
 

Committment for the Day

   No matter how I feel today, I'll go on with my recovery. 

One Day At A Time
