There is so much familiarity to pain that we don't want to let it go. I need to remember that I am not alone, that anything that happens in the future, God is with me, if I choose to take Him along.

When I project into the future all I have is the past to base my decisions on. It can keep me immobized in today, fearful of taking that first step in a new direction.

I can not grow in my recovery, if I stay the same. I have never been satisfied with just being "clean" without the gift of sobriety and the other rewards of being open to receive that the fellowships offer me.

It would be pretty boring if I got up in front of a room and shared the same story, over and over again, with no deviation showing some growth and change in my life. I wouldn't be carry a very good message of recovery if I just stayed the same. I would be acting out my disease without picking up, after all the substance is but a symptom, I am the problem, the program is the solution.

Each day is a new beginning.

A day can start anytime.

A meeting starts when you get there, and ends when you leave.

Yesterday ended last night.
