Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are. — Max De Pree
We need to let ourselves change. To try new things. To have exciting adventures. We shouldn’t stay closed to recovery, its principles, and the fellowship, but should instead jump in! Nothing grows by staying the same. We are meant to develop and help others develop into the best they can be. This is the opposite of addiction where we helped others and ourselves develop into the worst we could be.
Addiction made us rigid and afraid of change. Now we embrace change. With each new day, we should challenge ourselves to try a new adventure. But we need to make sure the new adventures fit within our values, support our sobriety, and honor our Higher Power.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me overcome fear, anger, and resentment. Help me to embrace change and become the person you want me to be.
Today’s Action
I will commit to trying one new thing today, something that honors my values, my sobriety, and my Higher Power.
Hazelden Foundation
