Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Slipping
A common rationalization about not making the program goes like this: Harry over there slipped ten times before he made it. So what if I slip a few times?
What is overlooked is that the last time Sophie slipped, she slipped into a coffin; the last time Bob slipped, his baby daughter died in her crib because of his negligence; the last time Ann slipped, she got strychnine poisoning and became blind; and the last time Jim slipped, he tried to kill his partner.
We’re not playing games here. This is a matter of life and death.
Have I stopped slipping?
Higher Power, let me know that it is not only my life but the lives of others that I endanger by playing loaded games.
I will avoid slipping today by…
Hazelden Foundation
