Now is the time, the only time there is.
And if we are not kind to ourselves right now,
we certainly cannot rightfully expect respect or consideration from others.
We have found we can enjoy, sober, every good thing we enjoyed
while drinking -- and many, many more.
It takes a little practice, but the rewards more than make up for the effort.
To do so is not selfish, but self-protective.
Unless we can cherish our own recovery, we cannot survive
to become unselfish, ethical, and socially responsible people.
The joy is in the journey, so enjoy the ride.
