"I am responsible for the day I create for myself." The choice is up to you. It can either be "Good Morning, God!" or "Good God Morning!"
That's an inspiration card I found behind my bed while cleaning. It belonged to a girl named Nicole who has paroled. I put it up on my board. I get up every morning and read it. To me it kind of goes with the AA and NA recovery saying..."Just for today!"
Today I am responsible for making positive and healthy decisions. Just for today its my responsibility to create a positive day. Every day is a new commitment to my future. My future that I want. The future I desire.
Doing my 12 steps is doing so much more for me than I thought was possible. Not only is it giving me healing that is way overdue, it is also rewarding to have positive attention because of my right actions...my actions focused on doing something good. Sure, I have gotten a lot of attention when I've done bad things, but it doesn't feel like this!
The feelings: love, smiles, laughs, confident, warm. People are proud of me and excited for me to continue this work. Patience, understanding, loving, support...gifts from my process.
Thank you to everyone with me on this journey, in this healing process. Remember that we can only keep what we have by giving our knowledge to others!
Love,
Nichole
