Been posting up loads of shit recently and thought I would change tings a bit and give you a little slice of my happiness today... To anyone who feels that they are struggling today, just remember, things can always be worse. If we focus on the 1 negative thing it will magnify so instead, lets magnify the positives. Today I am grateful for... 1. I am clean and sober 2. My home (I drove past a homeless guy in a park in Kingston on Sunday who was sat out in the rain) 3. My tools, van and my ability to get up and go to work. 4. I am healthy. 5. My beautiful daughter and she is healthy. 6. I didnt wake up in a pool of sweat on a come down this morning with a banging headache and a nosebleed (which used to be standard) 7. I dont suffer with anxiety or depression any more thanks to a 12 step program and an amazing, loving fellowship who understand my struggles. 8. No bailiffs knocking on my door today because I can bring myself to open the post and pay the bills rather than hide them away. 9. I have dreams and goals in life and there is nothing that I cant do. 10. my ability to feel happiness and pain today without blotting it all out with chemicals. 11. My computer and the internet. 12. My kettle and good coffee. 13. Love. To be able to give and more to the point, to be able to accept. 14. The world is a beautiful place as long as I lift up my chin and open my eyes. 15. To not only be alive but to feel alive today. Big Book... And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation -- some fact of my life -- unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in Gods world by mistake. Until I could accept my addiction, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on lifes terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes. Enjoy your day people.
