Sept. 4, 2023 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

 

Step by Step

Monday, Sept. 4, 2023

Today, remember gratitude and its importance in recovery. I can be grateful that the lifeline of recovery was tossed to me when I needed it, grateful for the peers in the Program who stood with me and picked me up when I stumbled and fell, grateful that the 12 Steps have kept me clean and sober the last 24 Hours and, maybe most important, grateful that whatever problems I have even in sobriety are nowhere near as bad as they were in my drinking days. In feeling with sincerity a gratitude that my life in sobriety is far better than it was in my drinking, I can hope to develop the humility that is required to make progress in my recovery — humility being my total surrender to my Higher Power and seeking His will for my life, not my will. Today, I measure my gratitude with the goal to bolster it for the sake of progress. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2023
