yesterday was my 23rd AA birthday.
I felt guilty celebrating with all the crap going on in the world.
With the horrific tragedies that had befallen my family and extended family this week.
It felt to me that it was almost inappropriate.
Then came the whisper from my higher power
ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!
We all need some joy some hope something to hold on to
(take the win)
the newcomers also need to know that it is possible to get and stay sober NO matter what!
23 years ago today would mark my first 24 hr sober
and it has been quite the journey ever since
People often say "be grateful for what you have because there are people much worse off than you" while this is true it makes me so very sad!
I wish that every homeless person could find a home.
That every hungry person had enough to eat.
I wish that every lost child and every lost pet was reunited with there family.
I wish that racism and hate in general was not a thing.
It boils down to I WISH THIS WORLD WAS A BETTER PLACE!
