Step by Step
Thursday, April 11, 2024
Today, seek new friends, acquaintances and relationships that sobriety holds and turn away from the bittersweet memories of what was lost in our drinking days. Instead of languishing in regret or mourning what is gone and cannot be replaced, remember that we are sober, and sober thinking opens itself to working for what can be and not pining for what was and never again will be. If attending meetings is the extent of our participation in recovery, we can spring into service as a 12th-Stepper, a sponsor or simply talking and listening to a co-member to lay the foundation for a new life with new friends, new acquaintances and new relationships. And should we be blessed with someone who today takes us out of the emotional ruins of yesterday, we can start to believe that a new and better life in sobriety is indeed possible. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2024
