A LONG LINE OF DAYS
Today, I have been sober for 32 years.
And it is just another day in a line of them.
You know, the idea of "a day at a time" is not that one only has to endure suffering for one day as some people believe. Self Pity is not an asset.
Rather, "one day at a time", recognizes a spiritual fact. A day is all we have.
This day.
Here and now.
Living to the fullest.
A life second to none.
I do not claim to have any secrets for living this way. I was just told to do it.
To be humble and do what I could to help others like me. That is about it. Anything else has come from hanging out with people who I want to emulate. Seeing how they do it. Following along.
No magic. Just some simple work.
I am so grateful.
