As per challenged, my gratitude list continues. I am grateful for my sobriety. I went to a meeting last night and the topic was, trust GOD and clean house. I could never get sober for my kids, my girlfriends, my grandparents, the courts, etc.. It wasnt that I didnt want to stop, it was that I didnt have the strength and will to do it myself. TRUST GOD. GOD has always given me the necessary tools and clues to remedy the problems in my life, and when I just listen without invading the process with my own will, he will give my heart the answers when I pray and meditate for them. It is like exercise in a way. When I talk about doing it, how great I am going to feel when I reach my goal, and all the energy I am going to have when I start doing sit ups and riding my bike, I never do anything. When I get up, hit the floor, do sit ups until I cry like a girl, roll over do push ups until I cant push up anymore and repeat the process three more times, I get results. When I get on my knees at night and pray for everyone to get all the things that GOD wants them to receive, that my friends and family remain healthy and that I may know his will for me and be given the strength to reach that destination, my road stays clearly lit and easy to navigate. When I meditate in the morning, answers come. Today my answer is to just have common sense. CLEAN HOUSE. Get rid of all of the debris in your life before it becomes a disaster. After 48 years on this planet, the life I have lived (and paid attention to details) has left me with very few situations I need to guess about. I have seen and heard it all. Treat others the way you want to be treated, until they treat you the way they have always treated everyone before you. Then, give what you get or clean house. I am grateful that I am sober today and have options other than shooting dope when life gets rough. Sobriety affords me comfort in the truth. The light is winning. Enjoy your day.
