I remember when I first got clean and sober. At times I literally had to
take it moment by moment, the urges were so strong. I couldn't even imagine
never drinking and using again. The very concept was too overwhelming, as
were any long stretches of time. Even still today I can not think that far
down the road. I treat each day as a new day in sobriety, applying the
tools I have learned I order to stay clean and sober one day at a time.
Today I celebrate 1084 days.

Thanks for the reminder Rosie!

On Friday the White House estimated that "the budget deficit would
reach
$445 billion in this fiscal year, by far the largest shortfall
ever." The
administration claims that this figure is an improvement, but in
February
2003 the White House estimated that the deficit for 2004 would be
just over
$300 billion............................www.misleader.o rg
