many gifts.
this could be a gratitude list or a whining session, but instead i will just write what is on my mind today.
i get to choose to stay clean today.
i get to choose whether i grow spiritually or back slide into active addiction.
i get to choose to get up and face the day or hide and isolate.
for me that is the substance of this promise, everything else i get is just that, everything else.
so this morning i celebrate the fact that just for today i am free from active addiction

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) A master of the art of war has said, 'I do not dare to be the host
(to commence the war); I prefer to be the guest (to act on the defensive).
I do not dare to advance an inch; I prefer to retire a foot.' This
is called marshalling the ranks where there are no ranks; baring the
arms (to fight) where there are no arms to bare; grasping the weapon
where there is no weapon to grasp; advancing against the enemy where
there is no enemy.
