As we learn in Chumash Rashi - on the second day it does not say 'ki tov' cuz it was not so perfect. BUT on the third day it says twice 'ki tov' cuz it made up for it.

So that's the lesson - perhaps today was not perfect, but tomorrow we'll make up for it be"H. As they sang at the World's Fair (when zaidy was young) - "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day".

Blind wrote on 03 Nov 2011 05:55: 106 days on the chart, 223 days clean according to the definition of SA. I saw a woman on the bus this morning (WOW!!! ) who reminded me who I am. That was over a year ago. I got to 221 days on the Chart and I am now at 610 days sober, boruch Hashem.

I went away for Shabbos and the biggest thing to happen was when I turned a corner and saw 2 women dressed in a way that I cannot describe on this forum. Wham! I haven't seen such a sight in real life for a very long time. I crossed the street and hurried ahead out of harm's way. C'est la vie!

Here's a great vort I found in the Bais Medrash (that's a board on this forum to post divrei torah):

Parshas Vayishlach

Chazal tell us that if Yaacov had allowed Esav to marry Dina, she might have influenced him to do teshuva. Rav Chatzkal Leventstein zt"l points out that Esav had been entrenched in evil for over a hundred years, but it was still possible for him to change himself for the good.
Esav had over four hundred 90-day periods of deliberate evil. None of us is addicted to evil as much as Esav was; if Esav can do teshuva under the right influences, then we also can find ways and means to bring ourselves to teshuva shelaymo.
