But so many of us believe that the "miracle" is like winning the lottery. The miracle in my opinion is staying sober, doing the work, making some great friends and trying to enjoy life each day, no matter what. And if we cannot enjoy, then we need to take it one moment at a time to get through. If it were really easy, everyone would stay sober. It is not easy.
