Good morning,
My sobriety freed me from the bondage of alcohol and self will. Today I have a power greater then myself. In my first meeting I was told this very thing, but I didn’t believe it. I never thought I would be freed from being a ‘prisoner’ of my bottle. Today I am free and extremely grateful for my recovery and the freedoms I enjoy today because of my recovery. I have many, many choices every day. When I was in enslaved by king alcohol I had no choice and had lost my freedom to do and be my best possible self. My sobriety is a gift and every day I must nurture it and be reminded of the freedoms I enjoy today.
Today is a new day with endless possibilities and choices.
Today my actions reflect the person I want to be and not that person I was, when my life revolved around how I was going to get my next bottle of wine. My prayers for the day include keeping my ego in check and practicing loving kindness to all, myself included.
This next week I will be still be a bachelorette and can do whatever with no restrictions from king alcohol with just the choices I make to stay sober and well today, one day at a time.
I am off to do some shopping and to have lunch with a friend. I am tempted to get my nails done again, but I’m choosing to keep them healthy and not wreck them with nail salon chemicals. Instead I can give myself my own manipedie.
Hopefully we are done with the rain for today before it returns tomorrow. Have a marvelous day!
Hugs Me
