30 days of abstinence!
Woo Hoo! Wow, if you had told me that I would be successful at being abstinent for 30 days on day one, I don't know if I would have believed you. It was great to celebrate it at my OA meeting tonight. I even got a 30 day token. It's a treasure to me.
Even with the steps, the tools, the support, and giving my will over to God, I am not safe from this disease. It still creeps up when I least expect it. This last weekend I smelled pies baking next door at my in-law's house. My nose went running over following the smell. I got to the oven, swung open the door, and thank God it wasn't pie. It was almonds roasting. I was so happy. Then it hit me...I still have the disease. I am not cured. I'm still working the steps. It was a good reality check, and I'm thankful for it.
