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.

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.

Scott you never cease to amaze me.

Best to all of you fighting addiction. God's patience in limitless.

To all who have posted in this tread.

The 13th step has taken on new meaning. I had to look up what it originally meant, since I'd only heard of the more recent meaning.

Thanks for posting, it caused me to learn something new. I like the original meaning the most.

Thought I'd pass on this link to help count time sober. http://www.aagrapevine.org/countyourdays.php
