3 things you get joy from: 

1.  Seeing someone when I get a text  a year  saying I've, I'm a year sober or clean or two years sober or clean

2. Seeing my little granddaughter on a Sunday morning just playing with her and spend some quality time

3.  Seeing my Tottenham, my football team win, which is very rarely lately. 

A mantra you want to embrace:

1. If you can't live it, you can, you can't be it. If you can live it, you can be it.

2. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
