My dogs are a huge part of my recovery. They love and trust me no matter what. They soothe me when I'm worried. They give back to me so much more than I could ever give to them, even counting vet bills!
They are also my Higher Power, right up there with God. They also love and forgive as God does and they don't hold grudges or regret the past or worry about the future. I can learn from them to love unconditionally.
Yes, they are wise, and also good at what they do. It seems that few humans are as good at being human as a dog is at being a dog.
Yes, my dogs are walking the Recovery Road with me! Hey everyone! Bring your dogs with you as we walk along sobriety street. And, of course, bring some "doggie bags"!
