Today's thought from Hazelden is:
Being patient
Over time, we get what we want out of this program. If we seek a better way of life, for example, we will develop it. If we want to diminish our pain, we will find relief. If we want love, we will learn how to give it and receive it.
Over time, our lives can improve a great deal through the Twelve Step program. Thus, our job is to keep coming to meetings and working the Steps.
Can I do what I need to do to get what I want?
Higher Power, help me to be
Patient with myself, the program,
And the process of change.
