I am Blessed to have experienced and to have witnessed the miracle of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Early days, months, and even years in recovery seem impossible because life doesn’t slow down to accommodate us. We have to learn how to deal with life “on life’s terms” without the escape of substance abuse.

I should listen to my soul. My soul tells me when my thoughts are wrong. My soul tells me when my actions are wrong. My soul finds comfort when I seek God. My soul is calm when I keep God in my mind. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

Sometimes I get lost and I won’t admit it or acknowledge it. Pride, shame, and ego tell me that I have to figure things out on my own, so I keep my head down. Then, out of nowhere, I catch a break and I find my way. I find something that I hadn’t seen before

When I was hopeless, I needed other people to have hope for me. When I had no faith, I needed other people to have faith for me. When I needed other people, other people were present for me. Now, God wants me to be there for others when I may be useful. We never really

I’ve had times when things go really good, but those runs eventually fizzle because life changes. I’ve had times when things go really poorly, but those eventually turn around as well. I don’t know what today will bring, but I need to approach every day the same. Today is a gift from God. No matter

Everyone is different. We each have our own unique qualities and experiences that drive how we behave. Also, we are all very much the same. Among other feelings, we all want to feel safety, security, and comfort. When I feel uncomfortable, my tendency is to act out in my old ways. Sharing how I feel
