Memories The Tools Of Joy.

I had a very busy day today, I was a guest speaker at a Rehab in Woodstown NJ. and then had to get back in Ocean City NJ to open up a meeting I must have drove 300 miles today but it was worth it. Memories the Tools of joy, When I would look back at my life I would just break down and cry. Thinking of all the things I missed with my children, Family etc. I worked at night as a bartender for 24 years I always used the excuses that we needed the money and the money was really good. What a price I paided for that thou, The truth was yes the money was good but it also was a way of getting paid for a night out. I never drank when I worked but Boy I could catch up faster then anyone and that I did. The price i had to pay for getting paid for those nights out. When i look back now I didn't have that quite time with my children before they went to sleep or that loving quite time with my husband. ( he would wait all night for me to come home) and when I finally did he was so mad but that went away with the thought of thank God she is home and she didn't kill herself or someone else tonite. He was also happy that he didn't have to wake up to the kids asking where I was could you picture if he had to tell three beautiful children with uncondtional love for there Mother that Moms not here she was drinking and Killed herself on the way home. (MY GOD) where would my children be today if that had happened. God was with me all the time I just wasn't with him. Now I look back and The memories keep that green for me, Thank God I'm able to be a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend etc. most most important a Sober Female because without that I would be NOTHING. Someday i might be able to be a wife again, but that same man that would have died for me and lied for me and loved me with ALL he had ( had conditions ) and he was beat so far down that i pray every night for his happiness and freedom from my disease. I hurt the people I love the most and even thou I haven't have a second chance on some things I now have a second chance on my life and with that I want my Memories to be a tool of joy. This past year has not been easy but I can't thank God enough for this second chance I have now sober. I made a year and now I have a year and 3 days new to start my year all over again, sober Birthdays, Hoildays, Memories.  One Day At A Time. Gail (Jennifer, Anthony, Karl Jr. KARL SR. I love you all with all my heart and soul.)

What a Direction.

Well yesterday was my One year anniversary of being Sober. It was incrediable, I have so much to be Greatful for. I said a prayer before I went to go speak and God gave me the words, they just came flowing out. It was the first time in two years that all three of my children where in the same room together and sitting with each other. My husband gave them a ride there and I'm very grateful for that. All at once it seems like my Life has just opened up on a new level I'm going to take it Day to Day there is just so much to write about and my mind is working faster then my typing right now so I'm just going to sit back and reflect on the Gifts of Soberty that God has put in my path and even there its One Day At A Time... Till later i'm just so Full of happiness I have to enjoy it for the time being because like everything " THIS TOO SHALL PASS "LOL God Bless You All: Gail

"Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong." 1 Corinthians 16:13

 

Do not choose to spend your day in a worried state of mind, for such negative thinking activity can leave you tired, and out of sorts.

Instead, you recognize that God can provide every answer for your every need.  Once again, you feel the peace of God's presence, and with God's help you can go forth to accomplish your goals.

 

You place God first in your every thought.

 

God is always


God is always with you.  In any moment of need, you can call on God.  God is with you and more than ready to show you the way through any challenge.

 

You never have to meet a challenge alone, so why do so?  God and you working together bring right outcomes to every situation.  Trusting fully in God, you experience a surge of fresh energy, and well-being.  Together, God and you are one in purpose and one in accomplishment.  The joy of knowing this fills you with renewed confidence and strength.
