It really is simple to take care of yourself. We all have access to outdoors, healthy food and clean water in this country, unless of course you are incarcerated or a slave to your addiction. In sobriety there are many FREE ways to help ourselves so there is room for no more excuses. We are all capable of clean living which goes beyond just abstinence. The answer is in our responsibility to ourselves and what we do to push that envelope. We can get up and make excuses or WE can change the statistics and prove just what we have been fighting for so long...if we reach in and realize that the world does not owe us anything and get off our duff the quicker we can get results. One simple way I help myself is by making the bed after my prayers, and then following though with what I wrote down the night before that I wanted to achieve for the day. Take out my list and check it off one by one...no whammies and no excuses! If I don't get them all done, no big deals. I can call for a ride if I need it, call for some advice if I want it and embrace the results if I let God give it. Two favorite words, I know...as my old friend whom I called "Uncle Manfred" used to say...if its to be it's up to me!
