April 20, 2018 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

Step by Step
Friday, April 20, 2018

Today, small steps instead of an "easier, softer way" - giant leaps toward the goal of recovery. Alcoholism and its physical, emotional and spiritual diseases developed over time, and their solution is likely to take as much if not more time. But impatience is a characteristic of most alcoholics, and it cannot be allowed to tempt us to take the short route through the steps toward sobriety. Failing to give full and complete attention to each step may set us up for frustration and disappointment - and together they put us at risk for a slip or relapse. Today, wisdom of patience in taking the steps one by one and understanding that it is through working them that we earn what we pursue. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2018
