I donāt believe this is Lao Tzu. All the sameā¦
Todayās meditation was about the importance of taking time to look after ourselves. Sometimes life feels too busy, thereās too much to do to eat well, rest well, exercise etc. But by neglecting ourselves we reduce our capacity to ādoā effectively.
Good morning. Thx reading these post. Putting these on here everyday reminds me that I am not alone in this battle. Have a safe sober day everyone.
Thank you for your posts. I cant not express my gratitude for the out look you have!
Iām just sharing the pictures! It is an outlook I am working on. But as per my profile picture a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - that is what I keep coming back to.
I do feel like I am making progress, even in my dark times I can believe it and try my best to live by it. I donāt think Iād be on this path if I hadnāt stopped drinking, and if I hadnāt stopped drinking I wouldnāt have found this community!

Good morning. Some days are tough. I find myself still doing my will instead of Godās will. Those are the days I feel Iām in a free fall want to blame everyone and everything but the truth is it falls on me. By not accepting my life and the people in it as exactly the way they are I become irratable and discontent. I keep in mind though that Iām striving for progress not perfection.
Yes! Progress, not perfection is all we can do.
I am in a place at the moment where I am getting upset because my life isnāt perfect. Itās ridiculous. I have so many things to be thankful for and acceptance is something I continue to try and work on.
For what itās worth I really appreciate all your posts here. As well as being really useful and insightful, it helps keep me motivated to stick with my meditation practice. Although I am not making it every day at the moment it is still something that I keep coming back to you, and your posts are part of what helps me to come back 
Doing these posts are just as helpful to me as the ppl that read them. Iām glad they help. The holidays are hard and this year is harder than years past. Just need to get step one right all the rest will fall into place if I stay out of my way.
Really sorry to hear that itās tough for you right now. Iām assuming that you do AA and I hope that means you have lots of people on the other end of the phone you can reach out to. Make use of them, you donāt have to do it alone. I also check in here daily so if you want to vent I will read/listen
Thx I appreciate that. Yeah Iām a 12 stepper. I have a great sponsor and friends in the program. Things will get better as long as I focus on today.
