April 25, 2019 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

Step by Step
Thursday, April 25, 2019

Today, understand we cannot claim credit if someone we sponsor or to whom we have carried the message finds sobriety. Likewise, let us not feel that we have failed a sponsee or co-member who continue in active alcoholism. To claim credit for anyone else's sobriety or to blame ourselves for their continued drinking fire our ego and, because of it, we break the commandment to be only a carrier of the message. Just as we cannot credit anyone for our sobriety other than the Program or blame our drinking on someone or something other than ourselves, we cannot claim credit for another person's recovery. Today, let us remember that we are the messenger, not the message. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2019
