Today has been a tough day. I am breaking a tradition. I haven't picked up a drink today. I have celebrated St. Patrick's Day for the last 12 years by drinking myself to Ireland and back here to Florida! It's a part of me but it broke me too. I knew it would be hard but it's also very rewarding to know that I don't have to drink for whatever ails me. I celebrated every occasion like it was St. Patty's Day... Too hard and too fast. Life swept me away, stood still, and now stands before me begging me to just drink of it. To drink from the cup of life. It tastes so good. I'm grateful to see it now. I'm grateful to have it now. A life. It truly is beautiful.
Heavy burdens no more. Breaking traditions can be a gift from God. Thank you God.
