KEEP IT SIMPLE #essentialsofrec #Recovery #Addiction


KEEP IT SIMPLE

~ AA slogan ~


Addiction messed up our thinking. We know that from taking Step One. We forgot things. We had blackouts. We made excuses, and we even started to believe them. We were mixed up. We couldn’t figure things out. We decided to get high and forget about it.

Now our minds are clear. We can keep thinking clearly if we work our program and Keep It Simple. Don’t drink or use other drugs. Go to meetings. Work the Steps. Be yourself. Ask for help. Trust your Higher Power.

Two thoughts will always mess us up if we let them in. They are “Yes, but…” and “What if?” Don’t let them in. Keep It Simple.

Prayer for the Day:

Higher Power, thanks for recovery. Help me stay sober and clean today.

Action for the Day:

Today, I’ll take one thing at a time and Keep It Simple.
