A friend recently shared that her sponsor asked her to find 3 things to be grateful for every day. My sponsor told me I had to list 5 things.

Step 10 is my checking in Step. It isn't just a step for the morning or the night, I can check in any time during the day.

I don't ever want to forget what I was told in early recovery, "As for help to stay clean and sober in today and give thanks at night." This was before I had a true understanding of my God. I knew there was something, because I could stop, but couldn't stay stopped on my own. I just prayed to the big Man upstairs. Then I found out that I didn't always have to look up to find Him, all I had to do was go within.
