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 !!

That is how I greet all of my students at school. So many kids have low self-esteem, I find it really helps when I greet them that way.
I have been flying under the radar for good reasons lately. I have been pretty stable, and enjoying my life, for the most part. I have 18 days of sobriety, and I am working my AA program to the best of my ability.
I have a terrific sponsor, and I really am motivated. My therapist had me write a therapy agreement, and I am more at peace with things these days.
Have a great day. My school is closed for a snow day.

You may want to consider talking to your prescriber or your pharmacist to determine if they can be crushed or cut in to smaller pieces that are easier to swallow.

01-27 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
I can attain real dignity, importance and individuality only be a dependence on a Power which is great and good, beyond anything I can imagine or understand. I will try my utmost to use this Power in making all my decisions. Even though my human mind cannot forecast what the outcome will be, I will try to be confident that whatever comes will be for my ultimate good. JUST FOR TODAY, WILL I TRY TO LIVE THIS DAY ONLY, AND NOT TACKLE MY WHOLE LIFE PROBLEM AT ONCE?
TODAY I PRAY
May I make no decision, engineer no change in the course of my lifestream, without calling upon my Higher Power. May I have faith that God's plan for me is better than any scheme I could devise for myself.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God is the achitect. I am the builder.
