February 2

We are empowered to decide exactly what kind of day we will have, every day.

Throughout the day, it’s easy to feel angry, frustrated, or critical, and we often want to blame someone or something else for those feelings.

A lot of us have avoided taking responsibility for how we feel or act. When we first joined this program and learned that we needed to own both our emotions and our actions, it was pretty overwhelming. It still can be sometimes. But it’s also empowering to realize that we’re the ones who decide how we feel. No one can make us act a certain way unless we let them. We’re in control of who we are and how we feel—that’s a pretty awesome thing.

Today’s Affirmation:

I am in charge of myself today. I’ll enjoy my life, all of it, if I choose to.

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.
