Sobering?


There but for the Grace of G-d...

I now have 129 days sober and one day at a time looks very good to me right now.

Wow, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see that site. I'm tempted to say the system is broken........

My little brother went down a rough road, luckily he learned with his first DUI and dropped the bottle.

To anyone that has beaten it. My hat is off to ya.

:salute:

Glad your little brother has leaned or rather is learning.

Yes, it was an eye opener for me. It will be a life long battle for me, one day at a time. So far:
Days: 132
Hours: 3,172
Minutes: 190,339
Seconds: 11,420,347

I just had to go take care of my buddy's dog. He's got just over 30 days and found himself in jail this morning over stuff he did while he was still out there.
He's come a long way in the last few months. A little stint in jail should steel his resolve. Jail sucks.
I've been blessed with day 2,670 today. Thank God. :tu

Hope your buddy is convinced now. WOW 2,670 days! That's great! I bet you got there one day at a time!

2670 days is easy, you just don't drink and don't die. They just add up.
All we have is right now, brother. It takes awhile to catch on to how precious this very moment is, but it sinks in eventually.
Then it makes perfectly good sense to make the best of it. :tu

The best thing I ever learned is that good things take effort. "Don't drink, don't die" requires no effort on my part whatsoever.
God is all that is good. My relationship with Him requires effort. I need to love Him with all my strength, all my heart, and all my soul.
That's tough for this dumbass to pull off. I so love working on it, though. :D

I've got 2610, you're 60 days up on me Scott!(Not that it's a race, more like a marathon.) I have to rework my relationship with God. I've been in a bit of a funk for the last couple of weeks. And I haven't given my best effort to God for about a year now. God's taken care of me, now it's time to remember to actively give thanks. I think I'll put up a sig line now.

I fall far short on a good effort all the time, Mario. It's a good thing He doesn't hold it against me. :)
Being as I used the word "good" twice, it reminded me of this...
"Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. Luke 18:19-20 NKJV"
That leaves little argument about how short I fall from God, but I can still bust my ass to head in the right direction every single day. :tu

You can still win the marathon, I just gotta die first. I just bought a motorcycle, so the odds are in your favor. :D

If you died sober then you would win the marathon by way of the true "13th step" brother.

I'm not in a big hurry. I'm way too busy to die, anyways. :D

I know what you mean. I was dead for long enough. I'm busy now and being alive is way cool.
