I love to think of a word for recovery each day. This is a neat section.
A is for ACTION---- I have awareness of something I need to do or change in my life. Then I have acceptance that is what I need to do to get better. Then the ACTION comes in. I do whatever I need to do for this situation.

B is for: Boundaries
In order to take care of ME, I need to set Boundaries!
I need to draw that line in the sand and let others know
what I need to feel happy and safe in my personal space.

D is for: Denial
Living in Denial about my problems doesn’t make
them disappear. Recovery showed me how to face
all of the facts, feelings and actions of my life. I
had to "name it and claim it", so I can grow and heal.

I is for: Inner-Peace
I've discovered that despite all the insanity around us,
we can find Inner-peace for ourselves. It does take
a little work but to get there if we can slow down, take
a deep breath, and think things through we are way
ahead of the turmoil. It helps me to take just a few
moments to myself and get back in touch with God.
Reciting the Serenity Prayer will usually but me right
where I need to be.

K is for: Kindness
In Al-Anon, we learn that it's ok to show Kindness to ourselves.
With others we show Kindness so quietly that we are the only
ones that know we had a part in it.

N is for: Nothing changes if Nothing changes
"If you keep doing what you’ve always done,

If you want something different in your life…
you have to do something different. Change the
way you think...

R is for resentment. One of my favorite resentment quotes...a resentment is a cup of poison we prepare for another and end u drinking ourselves. That reminds me that when I carry a resentment I am the one who suffers.
