Thought of the Day

 "In our recovery, we find it essential to accept reality.

 Once we can do this, we can attempt to change our perceptions." 

 ––––=–––– 

Alcohol an drugs used to buffer us from the full force of life. 

When we stop and enter into recovery, we find ourselves confronted directly with life. 

We may experience disappointment, frustration, or anger. Events may not happen the way we want them to. The self-centeredness we cultivated in our addiction has distorted our perceptions of life; it is difficult to let go of our expectations and accept life as it is.

We learn to accept our lives by working the Twelve Steps.

 We discover how to change our attitudes and let go of character defects. We no longer need to distort the truth or to run from situations. The more we practice the spiritual principles contained in the steps, the easier it becomes to accept life exactly as it comes to us.
