Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Taking the Steps
We used drugs for many reasons. Often it was to take the edge off life. In the beginning drugs made the world more beautiful, more satisfying. Toward the end we used drugs to turn off our guilt, fear, and loneliness. The drugs began to cause more problems than they cured. Finally, using met none of our needs at all.
By working the Steps, however, we can learn to meet our needs in constructive, rather than destructive, ways.
Am I working all the Steps necessary to meet my needs without chemicals?
Higher Power, help me find those things in life — sober and clean — that I was trying to find by using drugs.
Today I will work on Step…
Hazelden Foundation
