Keep It Simple
Do not cut down the tree that gives you shade.
-Arabian proverb
We need to remember what got us well. The Twelve Steps heal us. The meetings we attend heal us. Reading and listening to program tapes heal us. Talking with our sponsor heals us. The time we spend with program friends heals us.
Sometimes we're pressed for time. As a result, we have to make choices about how to use our time. We may think we know enough about the program. We may feel like cutting down on meetings. These are danger signs. We only know how to stay sober One Day at a Time: by working the Steps. Let's not forget them as we grow in this program. It may seem like we've been recovering a long time, but we're all beginners.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, I've found You in the program. Help me find ways to stay a .'beginner" in the program.
Action for the Day Today, I'll take time to read the Twelve Steps. I'll meditate on how much these Steps have given me.
