Making a Life of Recovery

5 days sober:

I attended a funeral today.  I didn't know those who had died...I was invited to play the violin for the graveside services.  I was related to them, but I had never met them or talked with them before.  While I was there, I was able to attend the funeral service inside the LDS Church, and the things that were said about the couple who had died were amazing! So inspiring!

As I listened I thought, "What will those who care say about me when I pass on?" So, I started pondering on what I would like them to say about me.  I want others to say that I was a man who was always true to his word, patient, thrifty, hardworking, happy, and totally devoted to his wife.  That was what really impressed me.  Those speaking always noted how devoted to his wife the man was.  Very impressive!

Those are my thoughts today and my desires.  This is my daily check in, and this is my hope for another 24 hours of sobriety!
