Dec. 12, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Monday, Dec. 12, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

You will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. – AA Promises

As we work the Steps, we fix our broken life. Many things in our life have been painful. Our addiction to alcohol or drugs made it all worse. But if things hadn’t gotten so bad, we might not have gotten into recovery.

We have changed so much! We have learned so much! Why? Because we have to learn so much about life, our Higher Power, and ourselves in order to fix our lives. We can’t act like nothing in the past matters. It does matter, because it brought us to this new life. And it’s better already!

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me face my past and heal my wounds and others’ wounds.

Action for the Day

Today I’ll list three things I’m ashamed of. How can I make amends for them when I work Step Nine? I will call my sponsor if I need help.
