Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Taking just one
It’s that first fix, pill, or drink that gets us high. It’s not the second or third or fourth one, or the second day or the second week of using that gets us into trouble. It is the first one. And until we understand this concept, we will keep trying — without success — to gain control over our drug use.
For us, control no longer exists. And it never will. When we start thinking, Well, just one won’t hurt me, we are on our way back to that same pain and discouragement of a drug-filled life.
Do I believe that even one is too many?
Higher Power, please help me remember that I can never regain control over my drug use.
I will avoid taking that first drink or drug today by…
Hazelden Foundation
