Today's thought is:

Recovery Prayer

Today and every day, I pray to be ever mindful that recovery is the most important thing in my life, without exception. I may believe my job, or my home life, or one of many other things, comes first. But if I don't stay with the Program, chances are I won't have a job, a family, sanity, or even life. If I am convinced that everything in life depends on my recovery, I have a much better chance of improving my life. If I put other things first, I am only hurting my chances.

It took me a very long time to understand that above all my recovery had to come first. I thought if I didn't think of my daughter first I was a bad mom. I thought if I didn't think of my bills first I was irresponsible. If I didn't think of others first I was selfish. Through time and alot of work I have learned I would not have any of these things in my life if not for recovery. Today I can say my recovery comes before any and all. I can say this because without my recovery I would have nothing. Nothing but dreams of having it all. I come first before anything and p[utting my recovery first has giving me this happiness and the knowledge that without recovery I am alone and empty.
