Wedding Reception

11 days sober:

Today I went to a wedding reception.  One of my good friends from my hometown got married today and so I went to support him! It was so wonderful to see him married and all that!  However, I got a little sad that I haven't gotten married yet.  And it might be awhile before that happens. I was able to stay happy and wish them the best though. I did this by focusing on them.  How did I want them to feel?  How would I want my friends to feel if I was getting married? Get outside of "serving myself" mode and think about others. Service is the key.

I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have gained through the SA program on how to recognize and combat feelings of discouragement, guilt, fear, loneliness, etc. I would be a mess if God hadn't led me to SA.  I will be forever grateful to Him for the help He has constantly given me! He has always been constant!

This is my daily check in and this is my hope for another 24 hours of sobriety and recovery!

-Grateful and Hopeful
