There is magic in our souls. The adventure of recovery is finding that magic and allowing it to come forth.
~ Dudley Martineau ~
Our lives are so different now that we are in recovery. The smallest problems used to plague us. Seldom did we know how to handle even minor conflicts. Our confidence waned. Faith was even more remote. Now our lives seem magical at times. How profoundly different each day, each experience looks to us now.
But where has the magic come from? How can a simple program with only a suggested set of guide-lines change everything about our lives? Reading words like these, going to meetings, seeking the counsel of a sponsor on a regular basis, and making the Twelve Steps central to our lives is all the effort it takes. We discover that nothing overwhelms us anymore. And we have guardian angels who will direct every action if we so choose. There’s the magic.
I will let the magic of this program work for me today. I won’t be at a loss when I must come to any decision today.
