Just for Today: Daily Meditations for Recovering Addicts | 
"It's the small things, the constant day-to-day challenges of living life without the use of drugs, that seem to affect most addicts most strongly in recovery."
"Anyone may join us, regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion or lack of religion...We depend on one another for our shared experience -and the broader that experience, the better." What an appropriate message for these bleak times. #bettertogether
"I will let go of my uniqueness and embrace the principles of recovery I have in common with so many others. My hardships do not exclude me from recovery; rather, they draw me into it."
"I know more about how to live than I did yesterday, but not as much I'll know tomorrow. Today I'll learn something new."
"Perhaps we need to learn kindness and how to care about others. Perhaps we need to accept personal responsibilities. Or maybe we need to overcome fear and take some risks. We can be certain of one thing: Each day, simply by living life, we'll learn something new."
"We develop faith that our lives can improve, that recovery is possible, and that happiness is not permanently beyond our grasp. We get honest; we stop hiding; we 'show up and tell the truth,' no matter what." ?
"As always, we have a choice in how we will approach life's challenges. We can dread and avoid them as threats to our serenity, or we can gratefully accept them as opportunities for growth." ?
"It may be difficult to watch as someone's insanity manifests itself. But if we detach ourselves from the problem, we can start living in the solution. And if we feel affected by another's actions, we can extend the principle of forgiveness." ?
"I know that faith in my higher power will not calm the storms of life, but it will calm my heart. I will let my faith shelter me in times of trouble." ??
"But if we stand secure on the foundation of our spiritual condition, considering its maintenance our most important responsibility, we can claim maturity. Upon that foundation, our opportunities for growth are limitless."
