I realized last night that during my depressed last couple days that I had not done my prayers at night or in the morning. (I am finding comfort in praying - the phrase "where's Alex and what have you done with him" comes to mind...lol) So last night before supper i said a prayer, looked up some stuff in the bible for a friend who is going through some tough times emotionally (it kills me to not be there in person for her) she's a strong believer in God and I thought some appropriate scriptures mght help. Also found some for myself and felt a bit better. Then one of the other guys in the house and I decided to play scrabble. I reached into the bag to grab my 1st 7 tiles to begin the game. With my 1st grab I only got 3 , put them on the tile-holder and grabbed my other 4. when I went ot put them on the holder I saw that the 1 st 3 I had grabbed spelled G-O-D.
It sent shivers down my spine.
I've decided that I'm not going to put the number of "recovery days" in the subject matter anymore. I thought instead that I will just talk about my progress and when reaching a milestone where I get a "Token of Triumph" from A.A. I will let you know. The first one was a 24 chip (they look like poker chips). The next one is my 30 day chip. A little over 2 weeks to go for that one.
Today I am feeling a lot better. I had a couple really depressed,feeling sorry for myself days but am much better now. Nothing about what was depressing me has changed but I feel much better. The power of prayer I guess!
Until next time : stay happy,healthy,and safe.
I'll try to do the same.

Every day without alcohol is progress, my friend. Keep praying and reading your Bible. Look at it this way: even if you don't particularly think it's helping, it's not harming either. Right?
Be strong and be good to yourself. You ARE worth it.
Love and hugs,
Diane
