April 25, 2024 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

 

Step by Step

Thursday, April 25, 2024

Todayunderstand we cannot claim credit if someone we sponsor or to whom we have carried the message finds sobriety. Likewise, let us not feel that we have failed a sponsee or co-member who continues to drink. To claim credit for anyone else’s recovery or to blame ourselves for their continued drinking fires our ego and, because of it, we break the command of being a carrier of the message. Just as we cannot credit anyone for our sobriety other than the Program or to blame our drinking on someone or something other than ourselves, we cannot claim credit for another person’s recovery or lack of it. Today, let us remember that we are the messenger, not the message. And our common journey continues. Step by step. -- Chris M., 2024
