..That is what life is. But the good days are much better, and we think much clearer, and care about others in a stronger more caring way. Being sober saved my life, and I am grateful for that. I went to a meeting this morning and heard something that I had never heard before. And I have been going to meetings for over 30 years. I thought I had heard it all, but we never really know. All I really know, is that there is more to learn, if I allow myself to listen and learn. Listening carefully and totally might be the hardest part of going to a meeting. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it isn't. You never know what wisdom you might hear from someone that you had never heard wisdom before.
