Today's Reflection
Courage: The power to let go of the familiar.
--Raymond Lindquist
Some days our recovery demands giant doses of courage. It is so hard to let go of slippery people, places, and things. We still miss our old using friends. Knowing that they're not good for us doesn't take the missing away. We feel like we're stuck in the middle between yesterday and tomorrow. We are. It's a place called today.
Living in the present is a courageous act. Our old familiar life is full of pain and regrets, but it is familiar. Deep inside, though, we know that being clean and sober is the best hope we have for ourselves. Today we can be brave and face what each day brings with courage and the knowledge that we are doing the right thing for ourselves.
Today, let me have the courage to believe that the best is yet to come.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
