Today was one of those days when I was involved with a number of members of this program. I not only was able to speak to them at the meeting today, but also before and after the meeting. Very much interesting and helpful both ways.
For all of us, I think these were wake up calls. It drew attention to things we need to always remember why we are here. How easy it is to get caught up with things, which really do not have any kind of interest with us. I know it reminded me of why I am here. I am here to stay sober a day at a time.
A couple of things reminded me of why I am still here. One of those was a repeat of something I was told back when I was being started to stay sober. The other was something I was read on the day I entered this program. The first paragraph of the Jan. 6 page in the Twenty Four Hour a Day book. It was read to me by an old timer back at the end of my first meeting. I often go back and read it again and again. Very helpful to not only this alcoholic, but many more like me.
Anyway all this reminded me of why we are here. We all shared so much with each other, which I know was very helpful to us all. Made me grateful for all I have been given. I know it did help all the others. I need to remember to thank my Higher Power, and all those who helped me to get sober and stay sober a day at a time. A real reminder of why I am here and what it is I need to do, a day at a time. Thanks.
