Monday Gratitude

The more I let go of my own suffering and self-pity, I can see those around me with the eyes of love and compassion. I am becoming more aware of other people's pain and unhappiness today and I will reach out to them in loving ways that heal me while helping them to heal. --Ruth Fishel

An element of recovery is learning that we deserve success, the good things that come to us, and also that pain is a reality. We have the strength to deal with that pain without medicating, and it will pass. --Dudley Martineau

The power of the program is mine for the taking. All of today's problems can be eased, if I choose so. -Melody Beatty

I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it. --Oscar Wilde
