Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Each thing she learned became part of herself, to be used over and over in new adventures. — Kate Seredy
We started working our recovery program for one reason—to stop our disease from controlling our life. Once we recover our ability to live in a sane way, a funny thing happens—we discover that we’re learning so much.
First we learn we have a disease that we can recover from. Then we learn about ourselves—our strengths and weaknesses, and our values. Next we learn how to live better. Then we learn how to have healthy relationships. Finally we have a spiritual awakening.
These are huge changes. We learn things in recovery that we will use in all areas of our life. We now have the skills and courage to follow the lead of our Higher Power into new adventures as we develop our relationships and our talents, and find a way to make a difference in our own corner of the world.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me learn what you want me to know and to be who you want me to be. Then help me do what you want me to do with my life. I’m getting ready for the adventure.
Today’s Action
I will think about the limits I put on myself in the past because I didn’t know any better. I will talk with my sponsor or a recovery friend about how my horizons are broadening already
