Feb. 27, 2023 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundaiton

 

Monday, Feb. 27, 2023

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

We can learn to be hopeful.

Living with active alcoholism or other drug addiction can distort our perspective. Pleading with others to quit using seldom worked and often left us hopeless and angry. Today, however, we can become more positive by regularly putting ourselves in the company of friends who have hope.

Being hopeful is an attainable attitude. Coming to believe in the presence of a Higher Power in our lives will accelerate our acceptance of hope. With the help of God and our new friends, we will firmly come to know that we are never alone, that all is well. We will experience the hope we hear in the voices of others.

I can act as if I am hopeful today, and the feelings will follow.
