180 Days Clean One Day at a Time!

 

By "newaction"

 

!הודו לה' כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו . Today I have reached 180 days up the ladder . It wasn't easy at the beginning, and it is not easy now, but, B'H, it is working and I am full of gratitude. First, to Hashem Yisbarach, that through His Mercy I am where I am today. Secondly to this wonderful site GYE, they are doing avodas hakodesh and a tremendous service to klal Yisrael. And, of course, to all the the chevra on the forums and their Divrei Chizuk. 

 

In my journey to 180 I had two crises, a smaller one and a bigger one, where I was walking at the very edge of a big fall, but B"H came out of it safe and sound, Bechasdei Shamayim, thanks to the chizuk on GYE. Any way you choose to look at it, whether it's two times 90 or 10 times chai, it all boils down to the same: "One day at a time". I wish everybody hatzlacha in their journey, each one in their own conditions and circumstances. My love to all!

Understanding the Power of the 12th Step 

  

There was this fellow who survived the Holocaust/concentration camps who once said,
"You know why it is that I'm alive today? I was just a teenager at the time. We were on the train, in a boxcar, being taken to Auschwitz. 

 

"Night came and it was freezing, deathly cold, in that boxcar. The Germans would leave the cars on the side of the tracks overnight, sometimes for days without any food, and of course, no blankets to keep us warm. 

 

"Sitting next to me was this beloved elderly man from my hometown. I recognized him, but I had never seen him like this. He was shivering from head to toe, and looked terrible. So I wrapped my arms around him and began rubbing him to warm him up. I rubbed his arms, his legs, his face, his neck. I begged him to hang on. 

 

"All night long, I kept the man warm this way. I was tired, I was freezing cold myself, my fingers were numb, but I didn't stop rubbing the heat on to this man's body. Hours and hours went by this way. 

 

Finally, night passed, morning came, and the sun began to shine. There was some warmth in the cabin, and then I looked around the car to see some of the other Jews in the car. To my horror, all I could see were frozen bodies, and all I could hear was a deathly silence. 

Nobody else in that cabin made it through the night. They died from the frost. Only two people survived: the old man and me. 

 

The old man survived because somebody kept him warm; the teenager survived because he was warming somebody else...
