although it feels like a rollercoaster now...life will calm down!

the following are a few things i heard at a meeting today.  please share what ever comments you might have.

• we are no longer alone.
• not everyday will be wonderful. it's okay!
• fake it till you make it...act the way you want to feel and you will begin to feel that way.
• enjoy this day sober.
• we will know a new freedom and a new happiness.
• we have got to do the footwork...one day at a time.
• poor me...poor me...pour me a drink?
• you can control 'it' and control 'it' and then at some point 'it' will control you.
• practice saying 'oooohhhhhh'...you don't have to respond or react to everything.
• if someone says 'i liked you better when you were drinking', say...'i liked you better when i was drinking too!'
• it's okay to be selfish in new sobriety. we are like a newborn. we need to be taken care of. it takes time.
• work as hard in recovery as you did in your addiction.
• stay in the moment.

who am i? it will take sometime to figure it out. 'we' will figure it out. getting sober introduces you to a whole new mature way of living.
