Step by Step
Thursday, June 25, 2020
Today, of all that I feel, gratitude is foremost - gratitude for grabbing the lifeline of recovery, for the common sense to hold onto it, for the support, experience, strength and hope of all the people I have found here and, perhaps above all, for the gift of recovery, to put all that pain, destruction, fear, self-pity and self-seeking behind me. And I will not reach into yesterday and bring its garbage into today but understand that my recovery is a day-to-day process regardless of how many 24 hours of sobriety I have been blessed with. And I will understand that the gratitude I feel today is the birth of humility - and it is in humility that I feel all the good there is in being sober today. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2020
