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.
