Great and Full

I'm so grateful............

For My Higher Power

That I am sober

My family and I are healthy

I have everything I need

For Beautiful sunny days

J. (who lost her sobriety after 18 years) just moved into a shelter was at a meeting this morning and I gave her my number b/c she is not happy at her new "home"

A posh woman from my gym drove up to the meeting in her v. posh car, scared sh*tless b/c she was coming to her first AA mtg. and I got to walk in with her.

For my friends

That I am hopeful and happy

I love those moments when we realize we are all just alike, regardless of what the outsides look like. Thanks for keeping me grateful today.

Now thats the program in action! We never know the ripple effect of showing kindness to another woman in AA....yuo were a good example in both cases....of how much HOPE we have in our beautiful fellowship.

ahhhhh, that outside perception i.e. "posh" people, where I live there are alot of them, I understand that feeling exactly!

We also within the rooms who I call "meeting snobs" who won't 'lower themselves' to attend certain meetings due to the obvious economic differences in the attendees...

I have found so much healing, understanding and heart in those meetings and often drag the "posh people" along to open their eyes...

We are ALL GOD's CHILDREN.

You go girl!!
Love ya!

To walk someone in to their first meeting is such a gift --both to you and to the person you walked with.
Awesome!

Goodness me. It's a hell of a disease, eh? I shall pray for J.

Good list. Thanks for helping me stay sober for another day.
