IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Today I will wait in quiet and faith for a clear answer before making any decisions. Today I feel secure, trusting that my instincts are guiding me on every step on my path. ~Ruth Fishel
Today I am grateful...
  • that I have all the time I need for recovery
  • for the distance I have traveled on this road of recovery
  • for grace that shatters my old ways of thinking
  • for the miracles I see with my limited human vision
  • for growth in confidence, trust and faith
  • that my mind is good at capturing gratitude
We still have days when the going is rough. Days when we feel twelve years old, unable to handle the responsibility of our lives, in need of a mother to nurture us and assure us that the pain will pass. We can look to a sponsor on those days. We can look for someone else to help. We can also reflect on how far we've come. Gratitude, in the midst of distress, for all the gifts of recovery eases the pain, the fear, the stress of the moment. ~Each Day a New Beginning
