It's wonderful to start another sober month. This is month 10 for me since my relapse of last summer. I'm ever grateful to be sober.
I just read the end of last month's thread:
Phil: I too don't always appreciate the message of the Serenity Prayer.
UKB: It's non-sectarian enough for anyone to say & learn from it. I've heard: "HP" instead of "God" start it off. I always try to remember that our HP is very personal.
Deter: Our friends & sponsors in AA are always going to be human too. I try not to put anyone on a pedestal...least of all myself. I've proven over & over that I too have feet of clay. Change is difficult for anyone...especially for the alcoholic. I went through most changes in my life drunk...especially if they were unpleasant. Now, I have to learn to take life on life's terms. My biggest lesson.
Take care one & all. My son & his kids are coming for a week soon. It's a fun but hectic week. I'll be checking in, as I'll need the strength & unconditional support I get here. Last year, I didn't skip meetings for the week they were here. They proved valuable. I'm glad I went.
Mary
