05/26 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
I know today that I no longer have to proceed on my own.  I've learned that it's safer, more sensible and surer to move forward with friends who are going in the same direction as I.  None of us need feel shame at using help, since we all help each other.  It's no more a sign of weakness to use help in recovering from my addiction than it is to use a crutch if I have a broken leg.  To those who need it, and to those who see its usefulness, a crutch is a beautiful thing.  DO I SOMETIMES STILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT EASILY-OBTAINED ASSISTANCE?

TODAY I PRAY
God make me see that it is not a sign of weakness to ask for help, that the comraderie of the group is what makes it work for each of us.  Like a vaccine for diphtheria or polio, The Program and the strength of the group have proved themselves as precentives for slips and backsliding.  Praise God for the tools of recovery.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Help is as near as my telephone.

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.  ~Ursula K. LeGuin

Good reflection Rhonda.  We need to find help from others and help others.
The big problem for some of us is finding somebody that we can trust. 
Where to start?

 

Some days its just not worth waking up and chewing through the leather straps
