I wasn’t having to grow up today. That was what someone in the Program sent to me today. It said that if we haven’t grown up by 50, then we won’t have to. A friend of mine, with over 40 sober years sent this to me today. Need to say “thanks”.
This note was a reminder to me of what I have been missing, due to the Winter weather. I really couldn’t get to a meeting in the last three days. Hopefully a sober friend of mine is picking me up tonight. Makes me also grateful.
All of this is a wake-up call for me. In the past three snow days I have been constantly reading about my waking up and going to meetings. It’s about what’s so important to a sober alcoholic, who needs to stay sober a day at a time. Attending meetings on a regular basis, listening and sharing to others like ourselves.
A great reminder to me about what I have learned and practiced in here. My growing up in what I have studied and heard, and how I also grew along spiritual lines. From the First Step, then the Second. My surrender and then putting the spiritual life into action within me. And combining my willingness to learn along with turning my life over to my Higher Power. It changed me completely, from a rough and tumble drunk, into a peaceful and loving sober alcoholic. And praying, and thinking, as well as sharing is what has helped me to be consistent in putting this program into action within my life. I owe so much gratitude for all of this. Thanks.
