Drug addiction is a rat race. We were always trying to keep one or two steps ahead of the cat. We were always sneaking around, and everyone was disgusted with us. Our goal in recovery is to stop acting like a rat and join the human race again. Recovery teaches us sayings like "Easy does it" and "One day at a time." Our sayings remind us to pace ourselves. Our sayings remind us that healing takes time. We live by human values: honesty, respect for others, fairness, openness, self-respect. We work at just being ourselves. We learn that this is enough. We are enough. Prayer for the Day Higher Power, help me accept my humanness. I am part of the human race, not the rat race. Action for the Day Just for today, I'll pace myself. I'll list ways I often go too fast for my own good. I'll ask friends how they pace themselves. Today's reading is from the book Keep it Simple: Daily Meditations for Twelve Step Beginnings and Renewal* __________________ "No matter what you have done up to this moment, you get 24 brand-new hours to spend every single day." --Brian Tracy AA gives us an opportunity to recreate ourselves, with God's help, one day at a time. --Rufus K. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. --Franklin D. Roosevelt We stay sober and clean together - one day at a time! God says that each of us is worth loving.
