Aug. 6, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

The future is made of the same stuff as the present. — Simone Weil

We found we didn’t need magic to recover –we needed a miracle! Now we are walking miracles. Part of our miracle is that we see how important today is. We can’t change our future unless we change today. So we live “One day at a time.” By living today well, we make our future better. There is comfort in knowing that the program will be there. Friends will be there. Hope will be there.

Old-timers say sobriety is easy if we go by one simple rule: don’t drink or do drugs and go to meetings. Life can get simpler for us. The rules of life are simple: they don’t change much. Staying sober will be easier for us over time.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me keep my sobriety simple. Help me accept the rules of life.

Action for the Day

I will list three things that will be there for me tomorrow and the next day, because I’m working on them today.
