Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
When fate hands us a lemon, let’s try to make lemonade.
-- Dale Carnegie
Our illness is one big lemon, but our recovery is lemonade! None of us signed up to be drunks or druggies, but we all signed up for recovery. That’s when the happiness began. Yes, there will be pain, but the joy will far outweigh the pain. The sweet joy of recovery becomes our drink — our lemonade. And, do we drink!
We have new friends. We love ourselves, our Higher Power, our family, and much more. We are creative when we give joy, love, and help to others and to ourselves. If your lemonade isn’t sweet enough, add more of your program to it.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, it’s easy to forget how much You’ve given me. Thank you for all the joy and love You have given me.
Action for the Day
Today I’ll write down what part of recovery I really enjoy. I will then share this list with my group or a friend.
