Wanted to remind myself of this slogan today from AA. I am feeling a bit discouraged and hopeless today. It seems I have been in consuling, or in some type of recovery since I was ten and some day's I don't want to be!! I just want to be "normal"!! At first the idea of reinvention is exciting, and then the grieving for the old self I will leave behind sets in. Even though it's a move from a dysfunctional to a greater functioning self, the old self is comfortable in a lot of ways and sad to leave, maybe because it includes memories of my past with my LA, which worked for a long time, but if it still did... I would not be here...
However, despite how I am feeling, and because of the progress have made in another 12-step program I am able to see some light on the horizon, and felt it was important to own that for myself by mentioning here. Some days it's hard to put on a happy face and count my blessings, so I have to remind myself, "Not to Give Up Before the Miracle Happens". I have seen it come true for myself before and countless others trudging the happy road to destiny together. Don't give up!!!

Well put Pashon...
Miracles happen everyday. We are living proof. Keep trudging toward that small light. We both know from experience that it does get brighter.
Lately the acceptance paragraph on p.449 of the big book has been helping as well.
Let us all keep strong and vigilant.
