Check in with us every morning to read a new passage and find your inspiration for the day.
Hopelessness exaggerates even the tiniest setbacks.
Bad stuff happens, it’s just part of life—traffic’s a mess, the neighbor’s dog won’t stop barking, maybe your partner didn’t come home last night, or a friend at work is being distant. If we expect everything and everyone to meet our hopes all the time, we’ll just feel let down and lose hope. But having hope really makes a difference. When we remember to lean on the spiritual tools in our program, nothing will feel too overwhelming for long.
Today’s Affirmation:
I am given only as much as my recovery program and I can handle!
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.
