I help my sponsor when I ask for help.
The more we open up about our experiences, struggles, and victories, the stronger we become. Our growth is in our hands, and as long as we stay committed to sharing what we’ve learned, we’ll keep getting healthier and happier. But let’s be real—there will be times when we slip up and forget to use the tools we thought we had mastered.
That’s when having a trusted friend or mentor in the program can make all the difference. When we share what has helped us with someone else, it reminds us of the lessons we may have lost sight of. This cycle of support—learning, sharing, and relearning—keeps us all moving forward, helping each other grow and stay on track.

Today’s Affirmation:
Knowing I may help my sponsor if I ask for help today makes it easier to ask. I will be willing to fulfill my part of the circle.
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 is also the author of Each Day a New Beginning. She has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her recovery from addiction started in Twelve-Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
