One of the guys I sponsor is in the ICU ward of a hospital because he thought he could take a drink and nothing bad would happen to him. My word today is the slogan But For The Grace of God and it is so appropriate because even though I have been sober 10, 285 days, I only have a daily reprieve, one day at a time, contingent on the maintenance of my spiritual condition. Basically, I am sober by the grace of God and as long as I do what I'm supposed to do then I will stay sober, but if I drift away from going to meetings, or talking AND listening to my sponsor, or from asking God for daily guidance, then I might start thinking its okay for me to pick up a drink and that nothing bad will happen to me. But for the grace of God, right.
