A is for Alive. Today I am alive. I have no guarantee that I still would be if I hadn't found recovery. Not only am I alive, I am living, no longer just surviving and marking time waiting for the day to end. In today, there are not enough hours in a day.  |

E is for Evaluate. Rate, judge, estimate, reckon your own inventory not someone elses. Look at your day, did you do the best you could, or did you evict yourself and turned yourself over to your Lower Power or did you surrender to your Higher Power and leave everything for his evaluation.  |

H is for Hope. When I walked into the rooms of recovery, I walked away with hope. I saw people clean and sober. I saw people who had long periods of time of sobriety. I had been trying for 8 years, and my way didn't work. I made the decision to stay, I wanted what they had.  |

P is for Prayer. Prayer is talking to God. Do you pray for the same thing over and over again? Where is your faith? Do you pray and tell God what the person in your life needs or do you leave it up to Him? Do you play God with your life and that of another? Pray and let go! Attachments:

T is for Truth. Find your own truth. Don't rely on old tapes, yours or those from family, friends, pastors, priests, bosses, co-workers, what is right for you. Learn to trust your inner-guide. Trust your Higher Power.  |
