Coming home last night. It was raining. It was nice and cool. I love when summer ends. I love when summer begins too. I love fall the best - except when it is winter, or spring, or summer.My friend Larry calls me most days and says stuff like this - The good news is, I didn't drink last night. And I didn't want one this morning. God has given me this gift, all I have to do is agree with Him.
Every day is a revelation when we are sober. It is a living, loving gift from God. May you agree with God today and live this day to its sober fullest.

Yes, revelations. Sometimes I can actually hear the click. Its exciting to me because I know there is more in store and to look forward to.
I agree, and I hold on to my gift of sobriety every day.
I love the simple acknowledgement of recovery... I didnt drink last nite either, and still don't wanna! Thank God! I know exactly what ya mean about the seaons... I love them all, each my favorite in it's own way!
It's 6:33am here and I have not yet had a temptation to drink (alcohol) today.
Coffee, on the other hand, is a different story.
I trust you. You are one of the ones that went before me and for that I am grateful.
Fall is my favorite time also. It has a bittersweet feel to it. The end of summer and the glorious crisp mornings and bright days. Every day is a revelation of all kinds of things. Thanks!
Dear MC,
I just read your column from two days ago and your concern about blogging and comments. God is amazing. I have been losing my zest for posting too since one or two comments is the usual result. So I have dawdled and dwindled. I was thinking just this morning that I need to start doing this again every day. If not for others, for my own sobriety. The point is, please don't stop blogging. I have so much to learn from you and I need to you keep this going. I realize that you are busy. We all are. I will keep on blogging and will right here and now commit to continuous daily posting for the next 30 days except when traveling the last week of Sept. I love your writing, I love your sobriety and I love knowing about your journey. It really helps my journey and at a mere 19 months, I need all the help I can muster outside of my HP. I am working real hard on emotional sobriety. The next frontier as Bill W. called it. My desire to drink has been eradicated but I need reminders from people like you and Motorcycle Mike. I need to read writings from people who think like I think so I can remember to not readily believe what I think. You help me do that. So please, don't stop. With all my heart, love and support: Sober Woman of God
Isn't life grand when you have no drama in your life, but just day-to-day activities! I love this kind of boredom. Gives me time to appreciate what's really important in life and just keep trudging on.
I really appreciate you posting this MC.. I too am so grateful for being sober... and having this program
Hope your day is well

In another hemisphere posting from South Africa, we are in a cold spring, but I can identify twith the gentle small epiphanies and God-moments. I read your blog almost every day even if I don't post comments often and it is a source of strength and encouragement.
