Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Repairing the damage
It really doesn’t matter how much we used or drank. The important thing is what it was doing to us, how it was affecting our lives. The biggest cop-out for people with addiction has always been, “I’m not using as much as other people, so maybe I’m not addicted.”
We couldn’t admit what using was doing to our lives, our families, and friends. It nearly destroyed us, but now we have a chance to repair the damage. If we are willing to accept ourselves and to turn our will and our lives over to our Higher Power, we can restore our lives.
Do I clearly see the destruction that my using caused?
Higher Power, help me today to accept my addiction and to stop using excuses to avoid the task of recovery.
One thing I will do today to begin repairing the damage caused by my using is…
