Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Facing Problems

If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere. — Anonymous

We are constantly aware that problems aren’t burdens suffered by us alone. Since the beginning of time, all humanity has had to cope with problems. We need to remember to identify with others and their problems, and not compare our problems to theirs to see who has the greater troubles. This will also eliminate self-pity during crises.

By accepting these difficulties, we can begin at once to seek advice from friends who have solved similar problems. By walking through problems without complaint instead of timidly trying to sneak around them, we will grow spiritually.

Problems won’t get rid of my character defects; problems expose them. By facing difficulties through the program, I will grow spiritually.
