C is for Change. Why put down the drugs and continue to act out in our disease? I was told that I had to change everything. What ever you use to do, do the opposite.  |

D is for Destroy. We don't feel we hurt anyone else but ourselves. Whole families have been destroyed by the disease of addiction. We certainly do a number on ourselves.

E is for Everything. I was told to change everything. How I did things. Change the behavior, habit, the patterns, my actions and leave the old behind to make room for the new.

H is for Help. Help your fellow man along the way. We don't walk ahead. We don't walk behind. We walk side by side and give each other a helping hand.

J is for Just for today. All I have is today. Even in the moment breakfast is in the past. I can start my day over, I just take a moment to say the Serenity Prayer, and say, Just for today, I choose not to use. Just for today, I will turn my day over to my God. Just one days thoughts, action, experienced, feelings, fears, phobias, fun, sadness, happiness. I am responsible for my own happiness.

O is for Opinion. As they say, everyone has one. I have a right to state my opinion, that doesn't mean it is the only one or right one. It was best to listen to the opinion of my sponsor in early recovery. My opinion was often words based on using instead of recovery.

P is for Perception. We have the disease of perception. I pray daily for healing. I ask my God to show me the way He would have me go and that I see clearly the lessons He would have me learn.

R is for Right. I don't always have to be right. I need to ask myself "How important is it compared to my serenity". Mind you I don't like to be wrong, do do try to compromise.

T is for Try. All we are asked to do is try to do the best we can. Someyimee we fall shirt of our expectations, that is alright, all we need to do is try. We are told to aim toward expectation, not expect to always achieve it. We have to allow for the fact that we are human, not some super being.
