LIFE IS GOOD TODAY

Today was another successful day. Any time we make it through a day without using, that day is a great success. Anything else that happens positive for us , is just an extra bonus. When you spend so many years as I did not being able to get through a single day without drugs, just to stay clean is a miracle in itself. In recovery we receive one miracle after another, and it's our gratitude that keeps us clean.
What right do I have to complain about trivial things today, when not very long ago I was homeless and hopeless. Whatever my needs are today, my higher power provides for me, everything. We must have faith that our lives can change for the better, otherwise we're doomed to stay in the uncomfortable situations we are in. As our lives begin to change for the better, we must continue to turn our will over to God and have the same faith that he will provide for us, just as he pulled us from the ashes, yet we must continue to do the right things as well as do the foot work.It's important to remember that Faith without works is dead, but when you start believing that life is getting better all the time, then you will truly believe, That Life Is Good Today. To your health and your happiness.

WHEN LIFE COMES KNOCKING

EVEN AFTER WE'VE BEEN CLEAN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS GOING TO GO THE WAY WE WISH IT WOULD. WE STILL HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE LIFE ON LIFES TERMS. WE DON'T HAVE TO RUN FROM LIFE ANYMORE, BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE THE TOOLS AND FAITH NEEDED TO GET THROUGH THESE TIMES. BY NOW WE'VE DEVELOPED HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE IN THE PROGRAM WHO ARE THERE TO SUPPORT US EMOTIONALLY AND HELP US TO MAKE THE RATIONAL DECISIONS WE ARE JUST LEARNING TO MAKE AGAIN, AFTER ALL THE TIME WE LIVED IN OUR INSANE WORLDS. WE MUST REMEMBER; OUR HIGHER POWER DIDN'T RESCUE US FROM OUR ADDICTIONS JUST SO WE CAN BE MISERABLE. HE MUST HAVE A SPECIAL REASON FOR SAVING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. SOMETIMES LIFE HITS US HARD, BUT THIS TOO SHALL PASS. THE LONGER YOU WORK THE PROGRAM, THE MORE GOOD DAYS YOU HAVE, AND SOON YOU WILL SEE HOW YOUR HAPPINESS WILL OUT NUMBER YOUR WORRIES BY A LAND SLIDE. KEEP THE FAITH!
