Saturday morning

[LarryG]

Good morning to all of you, it's a warmer morning today so going to coffee won't be difficult.  A quiet day after that for me I think.  I hope you all enjoy the day smoke free and grateful.

I’ve learned that you can’t have everything and do everything at the same time.

~Oprah Winfrey

We wanted it all. We wanted to feel good all the time. We wanted to be right and have everyone see how right we were. We wanted to always be at the center of all the action. We wanted life to adjust to us, instead of us adjusting to life. What a house of cards. Often we wanted so much because we felt so empty inside.

If we try and do it all and have it all, we will fail. Life has limits, so we have to make choices. As we go through life, we pick and choose. We put together a good or poor life. In recovery, we learn that we are to pick people over things, principles over ego, and values over sensations. All of this involves stopping and thinking. We need to reflect on what our Higher Power wants for us. Instead of trying to do everything, we just concentrate on doing the next right thing. Over time we stop wanting everything and start to see we are enough, and we have enough.
