Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Freedom is not enough. — Lyndon B. Johnson
We are free of alcohol and other drugs. We’ve been given a second or third chance. For that, we thank our Higher Power. We’ve started a new life. But to keep this life, we need to change. We need new friends. We need to let a Higher Power guide our hearts, minds, and bodies. We need to learn new values and how to stand up for them. We need to learn how to give and to receive.
Freedom from dependence is not enough. We also want to be happy, and to do something with our lives. So each day we keep learning, we keep growing. Each day without alcohol or other drugs is a gift.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, You set me free. Now teach me to stay free. Guide me, for keeping my freedom is a big task.
Action for the Day
I will meditate on my freedom. I will take time to list all the ways I am now free.
Hazelden Foundation
