Yesterday at lunch with my brother at FLO’s, so many memories came back of having meals here with our family. Where had all of the time gone? So many blessings, often lost in the rush to get everything done.
At the Church of the Epiphany, we spoke about the feelings, thoughts and beliefs that caused our instincts to run astray. Before recovery, alcohol and drugs were my only solution to cope with life.
The sayings ‘Pedal to the Metal’ and ‘It's O'Clock Somewhere' came to mind!
My friend Paul M. uses the term 'Let's Go.' At the end of my drinking, I needed a new solution.
Help me, but what and where can I find it?
At Gail’s, we lit the 1st night of Chanukah candles, and said the prayers of gratitude for God’s everlasting Light.
In recovery, we often hear, ‘Don’t Quit Before The Miracle’ 'Let Go, Let God' and ‘Relax and Take It Easy.’
Thanks for all of the reminders to take time to allow the Presence of the Lord to enter into my heart & life.
A conscious contact is a much better, longer lasting and positive solution than my quick fix!
