Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Touching Hands
If only all the hands that reach could touch. — Mary A. Loberg
When we were using, we may have been surrounded by people, but we felt alone. When we were beaten down to the pits of despair, we reached for helping hands. We found many extended to touch ours.
We can never stand so tall as when we stoop to reach the searching hands of those who may need our help. We know that the hands we touch will give us still more strength to work our program and carry our message of love.
Now we, too, are willing to reach out to help others who are still suffering, whether they’re in the program or not. We want to give them the “hand up” we got from our friends and sponsor.
Unless my hands touch others, my recovery program will not survive. This union of hands is one of the secrets of its success.
