Keep It Simple
To be emotionally committed to somebody is very difficult. but to be alone is impossible. -Stephen Sondheim
Let's face it, relationships are hard work! But we are lucky! Recovery is about relationships. We learn how to set limits. We learn how to listen to and talk to others. In Step One, we begin a new relationship with ourselves. In Steps Two and Three, we begin a relationship with our Higher Power. In later Steps, we mend our relationships with family and friends.
In our relationship with our sponsor, we learn about being friends. And our past relationship with alcohol and other drugs is being replaced by people and our Higher Power.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, thank-you for all my new relationships. Thank-you for teaching me how to feel human again.
Action for the Day
Today. I'll make a list of all the new relationships I have now, due to my sobriety.
