ATTITUDES

The great scorer . . . marks not that you won or lost, but how you played the game.

~ Grantland Rice 

When we are told that “some are sicker than others,” we are reminded that we might also say, “some of us are more well than others.” Both statements are correct. We remember that “we are not bad people trying to become good, but are sick individuals trying to get well, physically, mentally, and spiritually.”

All of us who remain abstinent, grow, and make positive changes in recovery are winners. But there is no competition with others in the Program. We all work together, as a team. Most of us do not consider those who relapse as losers. More aptly are they called “quitters.” Each member “plays the game” by simple rules and to the best of an individual’s ability.

There is no scoring, no giving of grades, and no graduation in the school of recovery. How I work the Program is up to me, and determines the quality of my recovery.
