  I'm convinced. The evidence is clear as I look at what I was like, what happened, and what I'm like now. I'm convinced my old ideas, thinking and actions brought resentment, fear, selfish ego and harm with dishonesty and self-pity. Today, with my program of recovery, I've replaced these defects with acceptance, trust, humility, honesty and gratitude. I'm convinced through the spiritual experience within this change of attitude, ideas, thinking and actions that brought recovery.

  of the many people in my life that have been so helpful. Then I ask myself; What can I do today to be helpful for others? I have learned it's best for me to be mindful of my motivation while being helpful. As I have freely received, so I must freely give. The acts of kindness I provide in a manner of selfless giving is helpful for my spiritual growth.

  Patience is a virtue. I should recognize that as I desire patience from others, I should return it in kind. Everyone about me has emotions and feelings of great importance to them, just like me. So, it is patience, kindness, understanding, acceptance, forgiveness and love I must freely give. By providing these virtues for others, especially patience, I provide them for myself as well.

  I'm entirely ready for change. My program of recovery has me ready. I'm no longer blocked from serenity by resentment, fear, selfishness and dishonesty.
  I'm ready to ponder, plan and schedule for happiness. What a blessing it is to be entirely ready!

  I can stop when the spirit moves me. I can slow down, take a step back, observe my thoughts and my environment, and proceed mindfully. I don't have to be hurried. I can stop to adjust my attitude. I can stop and smell the roses and be grateful for each moment.

  when self-pity strikes, I fight it off with gratitude. I can think of all I have rather than have not. The only things I find through self-pity are sorrow, resentment and procrastination while I feel like giving up. With gratitude the chance for happiness comes to light, and the possibilities are limitless.

  it's fulfilling to realize completion of early goals in my program of recovery. Now it's time to continue the momentum with new challenges. Living sober, I'll set new goals. I think I'll entitle it "My Bucket List of Happiness."

  despite all the hardship that has come my way, I've not lost the inspiration to remain sober. It's rare that I can't find some inspiration to guide my day. Today I'll simply visit life being sober. I'd be willing to bet I'll find inspiration along the way.

  I have been sober for 3,145 days, and this will be my 9th sober Thanksgiving!

  my program of recovery provides me with coping skills when I feel overwhelmed. I'm grateful to know I'm overcoming my addiction, and I can use these same tools to cope with life on life's terms as I now feel overwhelmed.
