March 4

Believing in the possibility of change gives us hope.

For a long time, we’ve tried to get people to do what we want, but it hasn’t worked. We can’t control others, no matter how clever we get.

If they want to drink, they will. If they want to lie, they will. There’s nothing we can do to stop them. But with the help of friends in this program, we’re learning a better way to live. We hear the laughter in their voices and see the peace on their faces. Their stories show us how much we all struggle, but they’re free from hopelessness—and so can we be. We can change. We are changing. Believing in that change makes it possible.

Today’s Affirmation:

My affirmation today is “I can be as hopeful and happy as I decide to be.”

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.
