July 18, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Monday, July 18, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

The most valuable player is the one that makes the most players valuable.  Peyton Manning

Often in the past, we acted like we didn’t need anyone. It takes courage to let others help us. As we get better, our courage grows. We invite people into our lives. We help others, and we let others help us.

We will learn to let others help us if we work our program. Why? Because we need others to stay sober. When we have a problem, we talk about it in our group. When we need a shoulder to cry on, we call a friend or our sponsor. Over time, our relationships become one of the biggest rewards of recovery.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me see my need for others as a test—a test to see if I’ll be brave enough and wise enough to ask for help when I need it.

Action for the Day

Today I’ll list four times in my life when I needed help but didn’t ask for it. I’ll tell a friend about how these times would’ve been different if I had asked for help.
