'Normal'

We have a friend who is a major in the Marines. He is in Afghanistan fighting for our freedom. May we pray for him this Memorial Day and all the soldiers around the world who make this day possible. I bring up my friend on this blog because he is 'normal'. He will have a drink every once in awhile. A while for him could be a month or two. When I was drinking and using a nano-second of not using was a long time. When I first got clean and sober I was amazed that 95% of the population or more was not using 24 hours per day, 7 days a week and 365 days of the year. That thought was beyond my comprehension. Today, in spite of my addiction I no longer understand why we 'think' we need to put something in our bodies to have 'fun'. There are many people who will wake up tomorrow hungover and or strung out. What I am grateful for is that as long as I don't pick up the rest of today, then should my Higher Power see fit to have me here tomorrow, I will not be waking up asking myself, "Where am I, how did I get here, where is my car and who are you?

May you have a blessed day.
