The sun rises on a new day. West Quoddy Head, the eastern most point in the US
After yesterday, we all need a new day, it was a tragic time. As a military "lifer" I am still in shock.
“The language of friendship is not words, but meanings,” wrote Thoreau. Life indeed takes on new meanings, as well as new meaning in recovery. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends—this is an experience not to be missed. Can I recall my initial reactions when I came to recovery? Do I believe that I’ve finally come home?
Today I Pray
As recovery has given life new meanings for me, may I pass along to others that same chance to re-evaluate their lives in the light of sobriety, common purpose, friendships, and spiritual expansion. I praise my Higher Power for my new vision of human life and for restoring for me the value and purpose of living.
Today I Will Remember
I value my life.
