Nov. 12, 2023 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

 

Step by Step

Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023

Today, if my last drink was 24 Hours ago or many 24 Hours ago, I have a choice to put my last drink another 24 Hours behind me or ignore all I have learned either by experience or being in the Program. I have the choice to reinforce the first Step within myself, that “(I) am powerless over alcohol,” and at least be willing to believe in the possibility of a Higher Power. Or I can re-empower alcohol to take control again and take me to the certainty of where continued drinking will lead me. I may be insecure or uncertain about life without alcohol, but I know with certainty where life with it will take me. Todaymy choice is to drink or not to drink. Experience is proof beyond doubt where I end up if I drink, and the Program is proof positive where I can be if I don’t drink. Today, grant that I choose wisely. And our common journey continues. Step by step. – Chris M., 2023
