Oct. 21, 2023 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

 

Step by Step

Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023

Today, extend gratitude but withhold pride on a day that greeted me sober and saw me through doing what is expected of me – expected of the Program, expected of the responsibilities to sobriety, and expected of myself. I need not be bogged down with anything from my drinking past — shame, remorse, regret, grandiosity, egoism, anger, depression, or anything else that I could find to keep myself in the gutter. Today, if I awakened sober and proceed through the day doing what is expected of me and do it with integrity and ethics and then go to sleep remembering all that I said and did, then today will be good. I can be grateful for that seemingly simple achievement and, today, it is enough. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2023
