We can learn to be hopeful.

Living with someone who’s struggling with alcoholism or drug addiction can really mess with how we see things. Trying to get them to quit often didn’t work, and it left us feeling frustrated and hopeless. But now, we can start turning things around by spending time with friends who have hope. Being hopeful is something we can all work toward.

Believing in a Higher Power can help us open up to hope even more. With God’s help and support from our new friends, we’ll realize we’re never truly alone and that everything will be okay. We’ll start to feel the hope we hear in others’ voices.

…

Today’s Affirmation:

I can act as if I am hopeful today, and the feelings will follow.

A Life Of My Own

Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.

Karen Casey, also the author of Each Day a New Beginning for women, she has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her own recovery from addiction started in Twelve Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
