They may be the dubious luxury of others, but not for us!! I know when I am in resentment, because my head spins. Round and round and round it goes..where it will stop, nobody knows!! I am so Thankful that I have tools today to let go of my resentments. I ALWAYS have a part when I am feeling “spun” by something I can’t control. If I want any serenity at all, I MUST take action toward a solution, then LET IT GO!!!

The phone rings and you just look at it, raise an eyebrow, and think to yourself  “Really??”

I could really take a day like that and turn it into many days like that IF I pick up a drink. Sooo, for today…I am in ACCEPTANCE and GRATITUDE that I get to go to sleep tonight (not pass out) and wake up to a new day tomorrow!

Sober day=Hope
