I'm loving life. That's what I'm doing today for myself. I'm telling myself that I'm worth this and that I deserve to be happy and healthy and that I don't have to numb myself in order to deal with life. I'm ok with life today and I'll hit it head on.
What about you?
I started my morning with prayer to my HP and ask to do his will, not mine...
I am doing my best to be honest and open & willing to change...
I enjoy the Now and the day...I try to stay out of insanity and chaos as there are no more big deals...I remember to focus on me...
I read my daily readings & share e-mails with my friends in recovery
Today, I had a friend just stop by who is going to have 60days tomorrow and we had a small meeting & talked recovery for about 30minutes....(he has 17yrs before going back out)
I participated on this site...
More prayer & mediation
And tonight I am going to hit the Tuesday night meeting & enjoy some more recovery talk.....

I'm learning how to live life.I'm learning that i don't need to medicate myself to get thru the days.I'm learning to embrace the good, the bad, and the ugly...
No matter how hard it is.The only way to get over it is to go thru it...
Thanks Lisa for making me do an inventory on myself....
Hope you are doing well....

Before I got out of bed today I prayed the Serenity prayer, the 3rd Step prayer and the 7th Step prayer in addition for God to do his will today versus me trying to do mine. I asked my Higher Power to direct my thoughts, my words, my actions and deeds today, because left up to my own devices and best thinking, well that spells trouble.
I went to a Women's stag meeting and had a friend of mine give my last three year birthday cake. I reached my hand out to those struggling at the meeting and to the newcomer.
I asked God to remove my fear and my anxiety today around 3:00 pm, huge character defects (when I rest on my laurels)....and allow me to have peace of mind and clarity.
Lastly, I am posting here to say it can be done, sobriety and recovery, they go hand and hand for me, if you keep it simple and take it one day at time, cause really that's all any of us have....thanks Stacey for yet another post strictly related to recovery ~ I love it! Nothing better!

What am I doing for my recovery today?
I'm hanging onto it despite problems that would crush it in the past.

And I am in awe of you Kat.
Lisa quotes-I'm loving life
That says it all
Getting clean is not about having something taken away from you.It's giving you back freedom.It's allowing you to accomplish and experience everything you have always imagined.How many people really get a second childhood?

For me, I have days where I that is all I can do is stay clean/sober for 24hrs but those are days that's all I need to do...it is an action in itself and my HP still loves me...The road of recovery for me isn't always a bed of roses and some days are very difficult but if I acknowledge that I am going through a difficult time and allow myself just to feel how I feel, stay clean & sober, then that's all I need to do and I am okay with that....There are days I detest the saying "this too shall pass" and as simple as it is, and as true as it is, there are just days when I hurt emotionally....when I have good days, I enjoy them as much as I possibly can....
Kat, you are in my prayers...
xoxo

Stacey, I'm grateful for you too! It doesn't matter if we have one day or ten years, we can all learn from each other. What you said to me brightened my day and I'm grateful. You've given back so much and that's what it's all about.

Today I'm living honestly. Not trying to make people believe I'm something I'm not. Today I am true to those that I love and to myself. I don't let others control my thoughts or actions.
Woke up at 5am, drank some bad coffee, ate a stale bagel...now I'm yelling at my crew....life is good!
lol...and you're clean and sober doing it. Good for you!
