March 24, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Tuesday, March 24, 2020
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Rarely have we seen a  person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. — The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
If we follow the Twelve Steps, we’ll leave failure behind. We may have tried and tried to be sober, good people, but we failed if we were doing it our own way. Now is the time to stop listening to ourselves and to start listening to the pros, those who have gone before us.
When we follow their lead, exciting changes happen. First, we stay sober. We regain self-respect. We meet people we respect and become friends. Our families start to trust us again. And why? Because we gave up doing it our way and listened. We listened to the experts.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, allow me to become an expert listener.
Action for the Day
Today I’ll find someone I respect and ask how they work their program. I’ll ask them to share their wisdom.
Hazelden Foundation
