As
we live within the recovering community, we will meet many types of
people. We will meet some who take their recovery very seriously and
others who don’t. We must remember that this is our life we’re fighting
for. Addiction is a very dangerous and deadly illness. We need to
surround ourselves with the best. We deserve it. An AA saying tells us
to “Stick with the winners.” Why? So we, too, can be winners.
During
our active addiction, we helped to bring out the worst in others. We
supported our using friends in doing things that were dangerous and
destructive.
We argued and fought with our families until all sides were
operating from the worst parts of their being. Now we learn attitudes
and skills to support each other in being the best we can be. And the
reward: we get to be the best we can be.Prayer for the Day
Higher
Power, please lift me higher. Please surround me with your love and
with people who will give me love even when I don’t believe I deserve
it.

Today
I will make a list of the winners I see in my recovery community. I
will make a commitment to get to know them and let them help me be a
winner.
