As I look at my sobriety and I realize its a daily choice. I’m reminded of the fact that its not about the big decisions but about all the small decisions that lead to the big decision. If sobriety is about a daily choice then what are all those things I choose on a daily basis that lead to choosing sobriety. Here is a list for me:
Today I choose:
To Forgive Others for the small things
To tell people when I’m uncomfortable
To try not and get angry when I’m driving
To not be alone to long
To try and get to bed at a decent hour
To exercise
To realize when stress is building up in my life
To call one person and not be a secret
To have gratitude in my life
To be generous today
To freely give grace
To keep my judgments of others in check
To laugh at myself more freely
To laugh with others more often
To see the best in people
To not worry about what others think as much as what God thinks
To respond to people instead of react
I hope we all spend a few minutes thinking about all the small decisions we make everyday that shape our lives. I pray today is a daily choice for sobriety for me and for you.
