April 22, 2024 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Monday, April 22, 2024

Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Reflection for the Day

Our spiritual and emotional growth in recovery doesn't depend so deeply upon success as it does upon our failures and setbacks. If we bear this in mind, a relapse can have the effect of kicking us upstairs, instead of down. People have no better teacher than Old Man Adversity, except in those cases where we refuse to let him teach us.

Do I try to remain always teachable?

Today I Pray

May I respect recovery and its unending possibilities for spiritual and emotional growth, so that I can view a relapse as a learning experience, not "the end of the world." May relapse for any one of our fellowship serve to teach not only the person who has slipped, but all of us. May it strengthen our shared resolve

Today I Will Remember

If you slip, get up.

Hazelden Foundation
