”Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.” Benjamin Disraeli

I have a new sense of determination since finding the program. I am less apt to take no for an answer. I seem to have a new confidence that I can find solutions for situations that before seemed impossible. I give full credit to my Higher Power working in me and through me for this new ambition that I find is positive and healthy. Success has taken on a new meaning as my priorities shift to those things that are truly important in my life. I am less concerned with material acquisition; my focus is on the people and relationships that matter in my life. My goals relate more to making a real impact in the world than in trying to see how many possessions I can accumulate. I want the legacy that I leave behind to be evident in the lives of the people I have touched. That makes my family and my children my primary focus. I want to ensure I raise my kids the right way and it is my responsibility to give them the knowledge and tools to live lives based on sound principles. I want them to follow a good path in their own lives and to be a positive force in the world. I hope that my own wisdom can help them to avoid some of the pitfalls and trials I have faced. Ultimately I hope that parts of me will live on through them and continue to make the world a better place to live.

Affirmation My recovery is important to get me on the right track. It will also help me leave a legacy that I can be proud of.
