We Are Alike But Not the Same

One pitfall in recovery is the idea I'm different. If we think principles in recovery apply only to others, this is guaranteed to result in relapse. As far as our addiction is concerned, we are all alike, and the rules of recovery apply equally to everyone. But, as far as our mission in life is concerned, we are unique. I turn my life over to the will of God, because whatever He wishes me to do is my personal assignment. In that way I am extraordinary, and no one else can do that which I am supposed to do. Being unique is a responsibility to be zealously guarded.
