Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Helping “slippers”
Why do some of us suffer? Some of us have found stability in this fellowship, but others seem unable to, and still others must first experience untold hardships before they can accept it. Many times our hearts have ached at the seeming failure of Twelfth Step work.
We watch others suffer needlessly and sometimes die. We watch others repeatedly slip, and our hearts cry out to them. But remember, it could just as easily have been us. Let us reach out with humility; let us make the effort even if we can’t control the outcome.
Am I learning to live one day at a time?
When we surrender to our Higher Power, we put our lives in our Higher Power’s hands. Higher Power, help me express and show gratitude for the ways you lead my daily life.
Today I will try to help a person who has slipped by…
