June 17th – A Daily Practice
“As addicts, we were stuck in a Lotus Land; we forgot our mission; we forgot the other adventures that awaited us; we forgot about going home.”
– The Story of the Lotus Eaters, Life with Hope, first edition, page xx
The First Step included admitting our lives were unmanageable. As an addict, I have to try every day to release my desire to control. Every day is a practice of letting my Higher Power into my life. It’s getting easier to distinguish my Higher Power’s will from my own. Every day is a practice of humility. Every day is progress if I allow it. Every day I remind myself to be gentle. There are positive and negative energies all around me in recovery every day.
Final thought: Today, I will do my best to tap into the positive. I can start right now by counting my blessings.

My Marijuana Story
By Haley B. I didn’t know what marijuana was until I was in high school. When I learned about it, I was completely against it for many reasons. For one, it was illegal and I was as straight-laced as a 14-year-old could possibly be. Two, it sounded terrifying to lose control of yourself with a…
