Keep It Simple #essntialsofrecovery

A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.

–Fontenelle

Our disease is sometimes call the disease of “always wanting more.”

We push ourselves to get as much pleasure as we could. If one was good , two was better.

We didn’t see that what we were lacking was faith.

At times in recovery, we still crave “more.”

We must pay attention to these cravings. When we have a craving, maybe we’re scared, and our Higher Power is trying to tell us that, if we have faith, we’ll be taken care of. Perhaps our Higher Power just has a message of love for us. All we need to do is listen. It may be that this is only “more” we really need.

Prayer for the Day: I pray to see my as spiritual needs. I pray to turn to my Higher Power instead of to alcohol or other drugs.

Action for the Day: Today, I’ll think about how much recovery has given me. I will share this with a friend and with my Higher Power.
