This was the process I experienced during my early years in recovery.
I had to get sober in order to live.
I learned a new way of life because I wanted to find happiness.
I get to stay sober for it is a gift.
It is through acceptance and appreciation that I enter each day.
I choose to live in the joy of knowing that everything in my life happens as it should for my greatest good.
If it were not for my reactions to the experiences I had during my drinking days and even in my sobriety, I would not have the level of gratitude I have today.
Today there is no “have to” in my life. There is only want to and get to.
I want to obtain and maintain inner peace.
I get to experience life as it is in with acceptance and appreciation.
May each of you find appreciation for the gift that is your life.
You are Loved.
