Nov. 12, 2021 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Without work all life goes rotten. — Albert Camus

Work is more than earning money. Work means using our time and skills to make life better for those around us. Our work can be our hobbies. Growing food or growing flowers can be our work. Raising children or caring for older people who need help can be our work. Building homes or helping people live in them can be our work.

Thanks to our program of recovery, we can do our best work again. What a change from the drugged-up and hungover days when we didn’t do anything well. We are sober, and we have something to offer.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me see that work makes me part of the human family. Help me do Your will in my work today.

Action for the Day

Good work teaches us good habits. How do the things I’ve learned in my work help me in my recovery program? I’ll list five ways.
