Recovery
is a process, one that rebuilds our lives. And the Twelve Steps provide
the foundation to support our growth as healthy, productive women. But
each Step must be carefully and honestly worked, or the whole foundation
will be weakened.
How lucky we are to have found this program and the structure it offers. We looked for structure in our past. We searched, maybe for years, running from one panacea to another, hoping to find ourselves. Booze - pills - food - lovers - causes; none gave us the security we longed for. We couldn't find ourselves because we hadn't defined ourselves.
At last we've come home. Self-definition is the
program's guarantee. Not only can we discover who we are, now, but also
we can change, nurture those traits that we favor, diminish those that
attract trouble.How lucky we are to have found this program and the structure it offers. We looked for structure in our past.

My actions today are the key. They tell who I am at this moment. Who I become is up to me. I will pick a Step and reflect before I move ahead. The strength of my foundation depends on it.
