Marking Milestones
Recognizing and marking milestones (clean time in recovery) is a way to celebrate our sobriety and to give hope to those involved in our daily lives as well as those who attend recovery meetings with us. Milestone celebrations help us remember the impact on our lives when we turned away from our destructive lifestyle and sought God, finding in Him the new life we could not find elsewhere.
We celebrate belly-button birthdays because we are thankful for another year of shared life with family and friends. We celebrate sobriety milestones to give thanks to God for His lavish love and grace poured out on us when we turned our will and life over to His care. God enabled us to see life with meaning and purpose. How else could we remain sober for even one day, let alone months or years?
He remembered us when we were defeated. His faithful love will last forever. He saved us from our enemies. His faithful love will last forever. (Psalm 136:23-24 ERV)
This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be happy today! (Psalm 118:24 ERV)
Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” (Matthew 19:26 NLT)
Prayer: Loving God, I thank You for this day of sobriety and each day linked to it. You’ve been with me through thick and thin and You will never leave me nor forsake me. I face each day with confidence because of Your unfailing love and care for me. Amen
