July 27, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Monday, July 27, 2020
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Reflection for the Day
One thing that keeps me on the right track today is a feeling of loyalty to other people in recovery, no matter where they may be. We depend on each other. I know, for example, that I’d be letting them down if I ever took a drink or used. When I entered recovery, I found a group of people who were not only helping each other, but who were loyal to each other.
Am I loyal to my group and to my friends in recovery?
Today I Pray
I thank my Higher Power for the loyalty and fellowship of the group and for the mutuality of commitment that binds us together. May I give to the group in the same proportion that I take from it. Having been a taker during so many of my years, my giving used to be no more than a commodity, for which I expected to be paid in approval or love or favors. May I learn the joy of pure giving, with no strings attached, no expectation of reward.
Today I Will Remember
A perfect gift asks nothing in return.
Hazelden Foundation
