Keep It Simple

Not to decide is to decide. ---Harvey Cox

We are winners, because everyday we decide to stay sober. Every day we decide to listen to our Higher Power. We win by making active choices. We’ve stopped acting as if we have no choice. Our old way was to us by accident. Not true. We pretend we had no power. Also not true. We lost our power over alcohol and other drugs, but we still had the power to ask for help. Each time we used chemicals was a decision, just as to stay sober each day is a decision.

Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, thanks for giving me choices. I will not run from them. Help me make good choices. Help me decide every day to listen to you.

Action for the Day: Not for one minute will I pretend I am a victim. I’ll face my choices squarely and decide.

This reminds me of my dad. We seldom said yes, we generally got a no. When he said "Maybe" we took it as a yes, which generally led to us being disappointed.

No longer have to be the victim, I have the freedom of choice. Each day I ask my HP for help with my words, thoughts, and actions.

Decisions have never been easy for me. I tend to look at the whole picture from both sides of the street and can confuse myself royally.
