~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
01-28 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Now that I am in The Program, I am no longer enslaved by alcohol and other drugs. Free, free at last from the morning-after tremors, the dry heaves, the three-day beard, the misplaced eyelashes. Free, free at last from working out the alibis and hoping they won't unravel; free from blackouts; free from watching the clock so that I can somehow get that desperately needed "first one." DO I TREASURE MY FREEDOM FROM CHEMICAL ENSLAVEMENT?
TODAY I PRAY
Praise God that I am free of chemicals. This is my first freedom, from which other freedoms will develop -- freedom to appraise my behavior sanely and constructively, freedom to grow as a person, freedom to maintain relationships with others on a sound basis. I will never cease to thank my Higher Power for leading me away from my enslavement.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Praise God for my freedom.
This song reminds me of how I USE to feel sometimes when I was in my drinking days.. *coming down* off that weekend binge. It would make me feel lonely. Wishing I was drunk again cuz it was *funner*. Sooo I thought. It was all miserable really. I am very .. very grateful for my SOBRIETY.. and I do give Paise to God !!

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end. ~Ursula K. LeGuin
