memories of drug court...

i can remember a time early on in my recovery, that the judge point blank told me to mind my own business...at the time i was very upset by this, since i believed i was right in my assertations...i was living in a halfway house, where it seemed everyone but me was using...

when i am looking at your shit...i aint looking at mine...

and this lesson has come back to me many times since...and am sure that it will continue to do so...

it is none of my business what you do or say...and as long as i keep my own side of the street clean...then i wont be trudging in anyone elses shit!

thanx drug court...

17 months...yeah!

sunday i had exactly 17 months clean and sober...and was reminded by a mirror put in front of me...where exactly i was when that happened...i was bankrupt...physically, spiritually, and emotionally...and what else this mirror did for me, was to remind me that i could go back to that real easy if i do not continue to put sobriety first...that little prayer to the right and down a bit from this post...is still my morning ritual...although it is grace that keeps me sober...i must stay in grace...

staying in the day...

and what a day it has been...lots of laughter, lots of tears, lots of life being lived in the moment...and through it all, lots of us drunks and druggies stayed sober...don't use and go to a meeting...hit your knees, call your sponsor, read the big book, work the steps, thank your higher power at night...ask for help...go on...pick up that 900 lb phone...ASK FOR HELP! then follow suggestions...it is really simple...do you want stay sober or do you want to use? one day at a time...by grace...
