it will pass
posted: Wed, Nov 17, 2004 05:25:15 AM
this reading has always bothered me and today i understand why. i have very little trouble doing whatever it takes to stay clean when my ass is falling off. my problem is when things are going well and i am feeling good. i forget that the reason i have more good days than bad days is because i have learned to do whatever it takes to stay clean today and that the good days are a gift from the GOD and the program.
so for me, i flipped over the reading and substituted feeling and enjoying the gifts and still having to do whatever it takes to stay clean, because just as the "bad" times will pass, so will "good" times. either way i need to keep doing those things that have allowed me to stay clean.
