360 Days

Five days to go until I again have a year of sobriety.  It is good to sober today.  It would be great to have never relapsed… and even better to not have been an addict… If I were to get started on if only, I would not know where to stop.  Dealing with life on life’s terms, I clearly needed additional lessons on humility.

Humility shows up in many ways, one the most important is asking for and accepting help from others.  Must often that is a friendly ear to listen to me talk about my feelings—both good and bad—then give me a hug and tell me they love me.

I am grateful to be sober today.  That is a lot better than the alternatives listed by Narcotics Anonymous which are “jails, institutions and death”.
