Day 60 of being clean and sober. It’s a great day. (Another day for MM) My two feet are touching the ground and G-d has granted me another day to be with family and friends. Stress is a continued issue in my life as it is in everyone’s. I know I used to get stressed and run straight to my crutch. Now I have found that stress is just another part of everyday life that I could not control. Things around me or surround me and I don’t let them get to me. Or try not to let them get to me. I have decided that stress is a test for me to see what I am truly made of. Am I weak or am I strong? It’s a test that can’t be measured with a grading system, but more of a system of coping skills. If you cope with what the stress is and not let it engulf everything, it makes for a better way of life.
G-d has granted me much in this life. Parents that love me. A wife that is true and pure of heart towards me. Wonderful children that everyday I learn from. G-d has given me friends that I can’t believe I have. I have looked hard at all the surrounds me and all that gives to me. It is something that if you look at your people around you and the people that care for you, it sort of is a reminder of your inner person. Are the people around you, people you admire? Are they G-d fearing? Are they in awe of what surrounds them? Truly and deeply I feel the people I have become closest with in my life are good people, strong people. I gain from them and how they live life. Catalog who is around you and understand that those people are who can help you the most. They know you and understand in good times or in bad they are there for you. Live, laugh and love!!!!
Thank you G-d for giving me all you have and all you will give me. I know I sometimes forget to say thank you for some of the best things. G-d grant me patience to get through every journey I am on. No slips or falls, non needed or wanted.
I WILL WIN THE BATTLES AND THE WAR- WITH G-D’S HELP!!
