”Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” Lou Holtz

We all have mornings where we wake up and would simply prefer to roll over and go back to sleep. As an addict in recovery, we often feel the same way about working our program; it can wait until tomorrow. In recovery there is often a cost to our procrastination. For many of us avoiding active work in our steps and group leads to middle circle behaviours or even inner circle activity. We have learned through our own experience and from those of our fellow members that procrastination all too often leads to poor choices for our recovery. It’s important for us to work recovery tools into our daily lives. From reading literature, meditation, exercise, reaching out to our sponsor or a group member, or attending a meeting, all these small acts renew our commitment and keep us on the path to maintaining our sanity.

Affirmation Today I will make the time for recovery because I am worth it.
