    March 13 Sticky Note


    The Gift


    Today your sticky note should read ... The Gift. For today the Gift is free Choice. You have a Choice to be Alcohol Free. Oh - I know it seems like we don't. It seems like there is an invisible force making us drink. I can tell you - we do have a choice. I realized tonight that choice is a gift.

    Tonight I sat with a precious 5th grade girl, who just had her leg removed because of a cancerous tumor. She looked right at me with a big smile, wringing her hands and licking her parched dry lips .... "I promised I wouldn't cry - even if I came out of surgery and they took my leg" ... They took her leg - but they didn't take her Spirit. And they didn't take her ability to Choose how she would deal with it.

    I thought to myself ... I am never going to lie to myself about how every choice I make is a beautiful gift I give myself or a twisted mess I tie around my neck. Either way - I own the outcome. Tonight dear friends I am 72 days AF and I realize that every one of those AF days have been a choice I've made. They were a gift I've given myself. So tonight I am asking you ... will you make that choice? Or will you believe the lie that you do not have a choice?     Your Choice can be your most treasured gift    .

    I love each of you -
    Liv

        Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them, but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

            Thank you for reminding me in a most forceful manner what great gifts we have been given, and how we DO have the choice to make...no one forces us to buddy up to AL or ALice!
            Thanks so much for your ever-inspiring stickies!

                  Wow,
                  This is my 3rd attempt to write a response to "The Gift". I can't. That was perfect. I don't want to touch it. Thank-you

                      late day message

                      Hi everyone

                      I didn't mean to be SO emotional in my postie today - but I felt you all embraced the message so I went back to see Allie and told her that I thought her life already had impacted people. She didn't smile today - as she is in a lot of pain. But I know she will smile again. She's a winner. Thanks for your prayers and good wishes for her.

                      On to the weekend. My post em is going to be an old stand by -- but a good reminder for us all - as heading into a weekend can be a tough time for a lot of people. So - post your sticky in an obvious place and remember I AM THINKING ABOUT ALL OF YOU ALWAYS!

                        H.A.L.T.

                        Hungry - don't get too hungry
                        Angry - Anger is a emotion that needs special care during early recovery
                        Lonely                         - Loneliness is a red flag for relapse
                        Tired                         - Being tired can cause potential disaster!

                        Basically, whenever you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, you are especially vulnerable so you need to be extra cautious. Being aware of these zones can help you HALT                         before you fall into a pit.

                        Get your post em pad out and write on it ---- H A L T
