BEFORE YOU KNOW IT -- IT WILL BE GONE AND YOU WON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT! So many times, we think we will quit when we have obtained what we want or some other excuse, especially the only about not wanting to quit while we are still having a good time. The price gets higher. It takes more drug and alcohol to get that normal high we use to get when we first start out. Things stopped working and we had to look for other things. Through it all we lost ourselves. We think of all we had and wonder where it went. When is enough going to be enough? Attachments:

Finding this to be true for my eating habits lately. They haven't been good and I got a wake up call in my book I just finished. A guy had lost his legs because of diabetes. My feet are bad and the pain is coming back and the pills aren't doing the job they use to. It is because I was using the pills to excuse what I was eating, and depending on them to make things alright. I found myself substituting and justifying, so sent the thinking back to God for repair.

Well the month of April has certainly gone by fast. Today is my cousin's birthday. She ends the month and I begin it. We have another cousin whose birthday is the 16th. Time just seem to disappear when you live it one day at a time. I used to make time go away. Nothing worse than being alone with no one to talk to and no TV to listen to, and yet in recovery, I went two years without a TV. That was a miracle. In today, I often have my music on and then there are times, I just shut everything off because I like the quiet. "Walk Softly and Carry a Big Book" - Book
We came to AA to save our ass, and found out our soul was attached. I was a very lost soul when I came to recovery. I am so grateful for this second chance at life.

This is a quote from a post made in 2009. In this world everything changes except good deeds and bad deeds; these follow you as the shadows follow the body.
--Ruth Benedict It reminded me of geographical cures. Where ever I go, I take me with me.
