Oct. 13, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Thursday, Oct. 13, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. — Franklin Jones

Before recovery, anger, self-pity, and sadness often filled our hearts. The world went on. We came to hate the ride. In recovery, love fills our hearts. We begin to love life. Love is really caring about what happens to other people.

Love is what makes the ride worth it.

We find much love in our program. People really matter to us. We really matter to others. For many of us, we learn how to love in our meetings. The program teaches love because the program is love.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I’ll welcome love into my heart and others into my life. Love brings me closer to my Higher Power.

Action for the Day

I’ll list all the people I love and why they matter to me.

Hazelden Foundation
