Dec. 12, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

You cannot plan the future by the past. — Edmund Burke

We got tired of how we were living. We honestly looked at our life. We saw that alcohol and other drugs controlled our life. We met others who understood us. And we came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could help us. We turned our will and our life over to this Power. In so doing, we learned that life doesn’t take place in the past or in the future. We find life in the present. We find our program in the present.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I’ll leave the past in the past. I pray that I’ll walk into each new moment with my Higher Power.

Action for the Day

The only time we revisit the past is when we tell our story. Today I’ll tell my story to someone. I’ll tell what really happened. I’ll tell what life is like now.
