Thought of the day     
"Those who make it through these times show a courage not their own."

======================

   Before coming to the progam, many of us thought we were brave simply because we had never experienced fear. We had drank and drugged all our feelings, fear among them, until we had convinced ourselves that we were tough, courageous people who wouldn't

 crack under any circumstances.

But finding our courage in alcohol and drugs has nothing to do with the way we live our lives today.  Being sober, clean and in recovery, we are bound to feel frightened at times. When we first realize we are feeling frightened, we may think we are cowards. Were afraid to pick up the phone because the person on the other end might not understand. We're afraid to ask someone to sponsor us because they might say no. We're afraid to look for a job. We're afraid to be honest with our friends. But all of these fears are natural, even healthy. What's not healthy is allowing fear to paralyze us.

When we permit our fear to stop our growth, we will be defeated. True courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the willingness to walk through i
 

Commitment for the Day

  I will be courageous today. When I'm afraid, I'll do what I need to do to grow in recovery.
