Great day for beach clean up The sun is shining and God is good to all of us here.

This week we are focusing on the things that motivate us to change in our lives.

The old saying goes you go to rehab because of a nudge (by someone) a grudge (with someone) or by te judge (ordered).

Its amazing how we motivate ourselves to do so many things that really want but if we could chase the recovery like so many do things in our lives could get so much better and more sane. When things go bad in our lives we have a tendency to ask God why me? When you make the cross over to admitting powerlessness (step 1) you don't even ask you say take over I'm done.
Have a great day everyone. Let the sunshine in your heart, it warms your soul.

Good afternoon to all of you.
Looking forward to another gorgeous day here.
Today a baby harbor seal was spotted off Jeanettes pier in Nagshead by one of our Alumni.
We have been looking forward to the great warm up so we can get outdoors more ofter and have some beach clean up action and sea glass hunting on the south end of the island. My daughter found a piece of purple which is a rare find. The ponies are out and about they must be ready for some sunshine too.
Were so proud of our sober house and their accomplishments of starting a AA meeting and it has been going very well everyone is taking turns and they have had some great speakers with long term sobriety. Please stop in its on Wednesdays nights at 7 pm.
Id like for you all to see a awesome sight video if I can download it to here if not go to Footprints In Recovery community facebook page and watch.
Have a great day everyone
