Mandi, the absolute best thing is waking up sober. Then unplugging from the drama, because I don’t need to distract myself and everyone around me from noticing my bad behavior. The best best thing, though, is something that has not changed. I got sober on the belief that everything was going to be alright. And it still is.
Bob Marley, Three Little Birds is now my favorite tune!
Rise up this mornin’
Smile with the risin’ sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin’, “This is my message to you”
Don’t worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right
Don’t worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
My higher power is within me and around me and between us and is us. I have a place and a part to play in the universe. And it is beautiful.
I get a shout out?! That’s awesome! I am so happy to know that something I have said has been of some benefit to another. You make me want to keep on the path more than ever before. Thank you for sharing, and let me know if you ever need anything!
A remarkable feat by a remarkable man, who happens to be a hero of mine. Congrats Dan, outstanding. And by the way, that song is my all time favorite…have a great week man!
Dan - thank you for giving us hope that a sober life is possible. You do it with such grace - and you are always reaching out your hand to help another one of us. Congratulations, my friend…
