My way is to begin with the beginning.

Newcomer

Things have been going badly for me ever since I got up. This has been one of my worst days in recovery.

Recovery shows us that we’re free to start the day over anytime we like, morning, noon, or night. Sometimes I say to myself, “I’ve gotten through the past twenty-four hours without acting on my addiction. This moment I’m beginning a new twenty-four-hour period. I’m starting my day right now.”

Then, no matter where I happen to be, I take a few minutes to do some of the things that usually help me. I pray for the willingness to do whatever is necessary to stay in recovery. If possible, I read a page of program literature or make a phone call, and plan to attend a meeting as soon as there’s one I can get to. I take several slow, deep breaths. I treat myself with gentleness.

Whatever we’re able to do today is enough. If we haven’t picked up our addictions, we participated in a miracle.

With the help of my Higher Power, I’m getting through whatever this day brings.
