Jan. 29, 2016 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

Step by Step
Friday, Jan. 29, 2016
Today, I will harness courage, strength, hope, wisdom of my Higher Power, compassion, passion and work them for another person's whose needs are far more urgent and desperate than mine. I will not accept that other person's intellect or others barrier as an excuse to permit his voice from being heard. Today, MY voice will be HIS, and his desperate struggle for help will no longer be his silent and lonely fight. And in helping this person who cannot help himself, I am driven by the knowledge that my Higher Power has sent this person to me and He will give me the knowledge to carry out His will. And, in the end, if I am effective in helping someone else, I will NOT accept congratulations save my ego being fueled. And, in advocating for someone else today, I won't have the time, I'll have no reason or excuse, to use or drink. I will be too busy carrying out the commandment of the program - carrying the message. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2016
