Today’s episode of Sober Readings is a little different. On September 11th, we take time to remember the lives lost, the survivors, the families, the first responders, and everyone whose life was forever changed by the events of that day.

For today’s reading, I share an article from the AA Grapevine about September 11th and the experience of recovery during an unimaginable time of fear, grief, and uncertainty. It is a powerful reminder of the strength of the AA Fellowship and the importance of staying connected—especially when life becomes overwhelming and we are faced with things beyond our control.

As we remember September 11th, I hope we can also take a moment to be grateful for today, for the people in our lives, and for another opportunity to stay sober. We cannot change what happened yesterday, and none of us are promised tomorrow. But we do have today.

Just for today: Don’t drink. Go to a meeting. Keep coming back.

And be good to yourself and others today.

In today’s episode of Sober Readings, I continue Came to Believe by reading the remaining three stories from Chapter 4. These personal experiences remind us that faith, spiritual growth, and our understanding of a Higher Power can develop in many different ways throughout recovery.

One of the things I appreciate most about Came to Believe is that it doesn’t tell us exactly what we have to believe. Instead, we hear from alcoholics who found their own path toward faith, hope, and a power greater than themselves. Their experiences remind me that spiritual growth is a process—and that I don’t need to have all the answers today.

I hope something in these final three stories speaks to you wherever you are in your recovery.

If you’d like to share your own experience, strength, and hope—or join me as a guest or reader on Sober Readings—I’d love to hear from you.

Just for today: Don’t drink. Go to a meeting. Keep coming back.
