Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Humankind owes to the child the best it has to give.
— United Nations Declaration
We need to be committed to recovery for ourselves, but there may be others in our lives for whom our recovery is also vital: our children, for example. The Twelve Step program’s wisdom says that our children start recovering the same day we do. No matter what our family’s past has been, when we recover, we know we have broken the cycle of addiction not only for ourselves, but for the children we cherish.
Our children can grow up healthy with the Twelve Step program to guide and educate them in the realities of addiction. They’ll have a greater opportunity to flourish in the love and new way of life we are learning. To see them serene and reaching their potential can be one of the happiest gifts of our recovery.
God, with your help, my children will shine like the sun. Please hold them today in the palm of your hand.
Hazelden Foundation
