My worst day sober is better than drinking

[fang37]

"Thought for the day" - great concept.

Put some quality between the ears will do not harm.

Good - yes.

[fang37]

No fear - people, places & things.

And no drinkies, please.

Peace of mind,self respect and self worth are my constant problem. No matter how I try and how far I advance ,it only takes some one to say I am doing it wrong and all is gone and I am back to square one to find peace of mind self respect and self worth.Nothing i do can see to give me that.I personally cannot find that no matter how hard I try.Others look at me and say I have it good I look at me and say nothing is right.As one man told me once " You have to get comfortable in your own skin" which is something i apparently cannot do. But have lost the desire to drink to escape.

If you can't remember your last drunk, you haven't had it yet.

Today I don't have to drink and for that I'm eternally grateful. Well for today I'm grateful!

An element of recovery is learning that we deserve success, the good things that come to us, and also that pain is a reality. We have the strength to deal with that pain without medicating, and it will pass.

[Johnniey]

There is absolutely nothing today that I have to drink over.

[Johnniey]

It's a well-known fact that helping others is a big part of keeping sober yourself. It's also been proved that it's very hard to keep sober all by yourself. A lot of people have tried it and failed.

Today is not just any ordinary day. Today is a day that matters. Today you will have the choice to make a difference in your life and those around you. Today you will have the choice to smile rather than frown, be grateful rather than selfish, lift up rather than put down, accept rather than reject and love rather than hate. Today you will have the choice of seeking hope for the future or remain in the hopelessness of the past. Today you have the choice to laugh or cry. Both will make you feel better. Today you will have the undivided attention of the King of the Universe. At that time you can ask Him anything you want. You can ask for help, plead for a friend or just enjoy His presence. It all depends on you. Whichever you choose, today matters. Make the choice to make it a day worth living. And don't forget, tomorrow is another day."

Wonderful! I am trying to live by this principle today and so far it has gone great! Thanks for sharing.

Worry and fear come back at times into my life, then I need faith. When I'm alone, with nobody to pat me on the back, I must turn to God(as I understand the word) for help. Can I say, "Thy will be done" - and mean it?

[Sawan Chan 7]

I am going to bed and never even thought of taking a drink. Thanks God I couldn't do it by myself.

[Nearlynam]

I pray that I may be calm in the midst of storms. I pray that I can pass on this calmness to others who are lonely and full of fear.

The Alcoholics Anonymous program has borrowed from medicine, psychiatry, and religion. It has taken from these what it wanted and combined them into the program which it considers best suited to the alcoholic mind and which will best help the alcoholic to recover. The results have been very satisfactory. We do not try to improve on the A.A. program. Its value has been proved by the success it has had in helping thousands of alcoholics to recover. It has everything we alcoholics need to arrest our illness. Do I try to follow the A.A. program just as it is?

 

Meditation for the Day

You should strive for a union between your purposes in life and the purposes of the Divine Principle directing the universe. There is no bond of union on earth to compare with the union between a human soul and God. Priceless beyond all earth's rewards is that union. In merging your heart and mind with the heart and mind of the Higher Power, a oneness of purpose results, which only those who experience it can even dimly realize. That oneness of purpose puts you in harmony with God and with all others who are trying to do His will.

 

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may become attuned to the will of God. I pray that I may be in harmony with the music of the spheres.

[Johnniey]

Alcoholism can't be helped by doctors or any drugs.

 

it is a psychological and spiritual treatment that enables me to remain sober today.

[Johnniey]

Life is great! I never thought I'd not care if there was an alcohol ban in this country. 

[Johnniey]

With the hep of God, I will beat this terrible affliction today.

[Johnniey]

I pray that I may persistently carry out my spiritual exercises every day. I pray that I may strive for peace and serenity.
