Tonight reminded me of why I love my life today and am so grateful to be sober by the grace and mercy of a loving God and a wonderful program. I have been sick for several weeks now and had not been able to see my granddaughter Aubrey for a month. I have gotten her pretty much every other weekend since she was born and she is now 19 mos old. I was worried that she would not remember me. When I walked into her bedroom at home, she saw me, squealed and ran to me. For that split second I realized just what a wonderful gift of sobriety I have been given and because of that gift I have been able to build a beautiful bond with this precious child. It was as if I had just seen her yesterday. I hugged her tight and the love I have for her welled up in my heart and I had that peaceful feeling that everything that this life has thrown at me and I at it has been so worth it. By following a few simple instructions my life has been restored and continues on a beautiful path. I have been blessed with a wonderful man in my life whom I love and adore with all my heart and the relationships with my children keep getting better and better all the time. I also have been blessed with some great friends that walk this walk with me whom I love very much. When I step out of the way and let God handle things the outcome is truly amazing. I have finally learned that when I try to force my will on anything it doesnt go well. Not that I have perfected it by any means, however, I am more apt to go to God for direction before I go off on a whim today. Life runs much smoother as a result. I will continue one day at a time doing the deal so I can keep getting what Ive been getting because I believe there is nothing better than this. For anyone reading this that may need some hope, please dont give up before the miracle happens. I never thought I could be so blessed yet so undeserving. My God is a god of love and mercy who shows it to me on a daily basis and I see it because I look for it. I know that my disease is powerful, waiting to destroy it all and another chance to kill me. All I have to do to prevent that is live one day at a time and trust that God will continue to do for me what I cant do for myself. Blessings
