Today, remember gratitude if I take undue credit for my sobriety. While it is justified to take pride in being sober the last 24 Hours, that pride must be within the boundaries of the Program and cannot be stretched to egoism or seeking praise from others. For when pride becomes egoism, I risk taking back the surrender to the Higher Power that carried me when I passed out or stumbled in my drinking days and even in some difficult sober days. Yes, I was the one who grabbed the lifeline of recovery, but someone or something else had to toss it to me first. Gratitude. And our common journey continues. Step by Step. - Chris M., 2022
