My past experiences
no longer have the power they once had
to rouse bitterness, hostility, and resentment.
If those memories sometimes try to sneak back in
and lure me into a pity-party,
I have the tools to deal with them.
I ask my Higher Power to remove the negative thoughts,
and I give thanks for my sobriety, my life,
and all the good things that have come my way
since I embraced the AA program with all my heart.
Pain is what I walk through.
Misery is what I sit in.
