CHANGE
You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.
~ Joan Baez
Our life in recovery brings us a new attitude toward change. We remember the heartbreaking battles we fought as we resisted each new opportunity to change. We held on to old habit patterns even if they produced great pain in our lives. Somehow we found what we thought was a safe place in our addiction and our hopeless condition.
Our recovery has opened our eyes to a new world. We know deep in our hearts that our Higher Power wants only good things for us. We understand that change is to be welcomed like each new season. Our Program teaches us that the unknown is not to be cursed, that God is revealed to us at such times. We come to trust our recovery.
I know that times of trouble will be followed by times of calm. I now welcome the changes that come into my life as new opportunities.
