Today is my second third year of sobriety. I walked into meeting today and was showered with love and appreciation.
I don’t think I deserve it. It’s remarkable I got through my second year, but it’s no more remarkable than what anyone else in the rooms has done.
We need to remind ourselves of that. By not drinking or using we’re saving ourselves. By listening to others with more sobriety we’re not drinking or using. So by going to meetings, talking to sponsors, talking to other meeting attendants, we’re saving ourselves.
We deserve the salvation. So my friends and family keep telling me. So my sponsor tells me. So various online groups tell me. So I believe some days.
I’m light years beyond where I was ten years ago. I need to remember that.
