  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.

  with just a bit of time, self-evaluation and mindful meditation I become aware of my thoughts and feelings that lead to my actions. I can be aware of hardships, I can be aware of the needs of others, I can be aware of what I can control and what I cannot, I can be aware of the spiritual tools that guide me to find solutions. In sobriety and recovery, I'm grateful to be more aware.

  it's the "hard" that makes it fulfilling. I must find courage today, to overcome the "hard" in spite of my fear. It's hard to think there may not be much time left. So, I'll find courage to do what's right and fulfilling today in spite of my fears, and that will make the hard easier to accept.

  I find happiness when I embrace the journey rather than the destination. It's like golf. I enjoy my round more when I don't think of my score. When I embrace the beauty within the challenge of each shot, I smile, and I'm present only in that moment along the way. And so, it is with my life. The outcome or destination is too far ahead to worry about. I'll find happiness in each moment of the journey.

  in recovery I'm no longer the problem. With my program of recovery there are spiritual principles of goodness that lift me from self-centered thinking and actions. With the moral and ethical values of integrity, my spirit is driven to be a part of the solution.

  I recognize Spirit is feelings within me, within others, and within nature. The Spirit itself is unseen, untouched, not material, but spirit reflects itself through its relationships with all living things. Spirit can be found through fear or trust, self-pity or gratitude, resentment or acceptance, and dishonesty or honesty. Spirit is much like the wind. I can't see it, but I can experience the effects through its relationships with living things. I'll find progress today by living with a positive spirit.

  I find it fulfilling to actively listen with care when others share their thoughts. I find it's important to identify with, then reflect the feelings of others, rather than compare or judge. I find a spirit of meaningful understanding and humility when I care enough to actively listen and share with utmost respect for other's thoughts and feelings.
