Hour To Hour - Book - Quote
In the first days and months of recovery we must practice a strict adherence to our program suggestions. We are vulnerable to our addiction calling us back. But if we follow the suggestions religiously, we will earn our 30 day, 90 day, 1 year chip.
God, as I understand You, help me stay clean and sober to the next hour.
Spirit Calls
I am willing to allow my life to happen. Life has taught me that the best laid plans can go awry. I know that I need to have goals and missions in order to give shape, meaning and a sense of destiny to my life. However, when I let those goals run me, when I let them preoccupy me to such an extent that I stop living in the present and I miss the beauty and spontaneity of each new day, then I am becoming a slave to my own plans. I will learn to take an action and let go of the result, to have a goal then to move toward it in a relaxed manner that doesn't rob me of my pleasure and my day.
I am in touch with spirit within and without

Some people do not have to have a program to stop drinking and using. But for us, we remember untreated abstinence will make our past our future.
I don't work the program to get my life back; I work the program to get my life forward.

Serenity comes when you stop expecting and start accepting.
Time for Joy - Book - Quote
It feels so good to accept myself just as I am today. All my thoughts and actions and emotions are right where they belong.

Other drugs; I never stopped doing one thing to do something else, I just kinda 'added to'. - Allen F.
