August 22nd – See it. Say it. Do it. Be it.
“We recover.”
– Life with Hope, first edition, page 69
The length of time in recovery is less important than the quality of recovery. Taking healthy risks, pushing boundaries, getting out of my comfort zone, expanding my skills; this is how I am recovering a life I wanted. I had to see others model things. I’d say “I want to do that,” or “can I do that?” I would do it, and see how it felt. Thank you Higher Power, for giving me the power to take the next right step.
Final thought: Today I can embrace growing new parts of my potential.

Durable Insight
Written by, Sashank V. I imagine the brain to be an intricate Rube Goldberg machine, where a tiny stream of water flows over tributaries, spinning little water wheels, and setting tiny parcels afloat or aground based on the tide and logic of the day. Smoking marijuana is like setting a fire hose upon this delicate…

Little Victories
Written by, Ernest F. I remember someone saying to share at a meeting. Someone may be going through what you have been through or have known personally. Victories should be shared even if they are little; it provides others with a sense of looking forward, or hope! Meditation has gotten better for me, I use…
