Keep It Simple



They is no they, only us .--Bumper sticker



For most of us, addiction was full of doubt. We stopped believing in ourselves. Our thoughts had turned to "stinking thinking." We didn't believe in much of anything. We didn't take risk. We always looked for the easier, softer way. In recovery, we start to believe again. We believe in the program. We believe in a Higher Power. We believe in people. And, over time, we believe in ourselves again. We become better at taking risk. We are able to stay sober because we believe,



Because we take risk. As we stay sober, we can face almost anything---with the help of others.



Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, I have learned to believe in You. Help me believe in myself. I have something to give to this world. Help me give it freely.

Like the saying. I didn't think I had an addiction. I firmly believe that we are products of our environment, even if I don't have a drinking problem, which I didn't think I had. It turned out I had to look at my drinking but my living problems, the problem is me. The drug of choice in the moment, wasn't the problem, the problem was me. It is a thinking dis-ease so I need to be a part of the 'we' because we together can do what I can't do alone. Each day I turn my thoughts, actions, and speech over to my Higher Power. Sobriety means soundness of mind.

I think that it should read: There is no they, but that was how it was originally posted.
