Facing Challenges
I know now I have a lot of work to do.  There are more amends to be made, letters to be sent, Twelfth Step work to do,
responsibilities to be assumed, and honest talks to be had with loved ones.
Life is meant to be lived by facing the challenges it brings.  Otherwise, I'm not living, just existing.
God didn't give me this gift of sobriety to sit in a rocking chair,
imagining myself as some wise old woman who has arrived somewhere.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], p. 320

Thought to Ponder . . .
There is no easier, softer way.

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
