”Never forget the powerful resources you
always have available to you – love, prayer and forgiveness.”
H. Jackson Brown,
Jr.

How
many times have we said to ourselves, “As soon as this thing happens I will
stop acting out” or “If only so and so could leave me alone” or any number of
other reasons that are external to us? In recovery we learn that our change has come
from within. Those situations and people external to us are something we can
neither control nor change. Our recovery happens as we discover the love,
forgiveness and happiness within ourselves.
In
turning to prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with the
God of our understanding, we open ourselves to doing His will and letting go.
When we relinquish control, especially over those situations and people whom
we cannot control, we gain the freedom to be ourselves and to move in a more
positive direction.

Affirmation
Today
I thank God as I understand Him for the gifts of love, prayer, forgiveness
and understanding.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
