7 Point Creed
This was legendary basketball coach John Wooden's 7 point creed for making the most of one's self and achieving peace of mind. Although it's not specifically about recovery, I still thought I'd share. I think we can all take something from it as we strive to become better people.
1.) Be True to Yourself
2.) Help Others
3.) Make Each Day Your Masterpiece
4.) Drink Deeply from Good Books
5.) Make Friendship a Fine Art
6.) Build Shelter Against a Rainy Day
7.) Pray for Guidance and Give Thanks for Your Blessing Each Day
Hope you all have a good Sunday.

Thank you. Almost all seven points can be parallelled to one or more of the Twelve Steps of AA:
Point 1) steps 1, 2, 3 and 12.
Point 2) steps 9 and 12
3) 10, 12
4) all 12
5) 9, 10
6) 8, 9, 11
7) 11, 12
Just sayin'....
