How I think affects how I treat others. Sometimes I notice it, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes my self-centeredness gets in the way. In order for me to be at peace, I must surrender my opinions, my judgements, and my condemnations of others. God, please help me to treat others today as You would have…

Over seventeen years drinking and using drugs. One detox – 4 days. One rehab – 3 weeks. Got a sponsor. Got a home group. Put 12 Steps in my life. One day at a time – don’t drink, don’t use, don’t die. Trust God. Clean house. Help others. Over 13 thousand consecutive days. Life on…

Some people go through their lives always knowing what they want. Then they work to get it. I start with knowing what I don’t want – to live my days suffering with drug or alcohol addiction until I die an ugly death. I have to work at not getting that because it is the most…

It feels that the more I do, the more I am expected to do. Sometimes I have to just slow down and “be” rather than “do”. I’m not Superman. Never have been. Never will be. Today I will try to find some balance. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

When I ask God for help, it’s because He can do for me what I cannot do for myself. God helps me on His Terms, not mine. I had better be on my knees when I ask. I had better ask nicely. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

When I try to steer God’s Plan for me, it’s like trying to move an immovable object. I don’t have that kind of power. It’s insane for me to act like I do. God never follows my lead. I should focus my attention on following God’s Will and accepting that everything happens in His Time.…

Connecting with another human being who is trying to recover from a spiritual malady is essential. Whether they are two hours or twenty years clean and sober, it doesn’t matter. God reveals himself to me through others. When I seek God, I find people. When I connect with people, I find God. God, please…
