"You will either step forward into growth, or you will step back into safety."

Abraham Maslow

In my early years in program, one of my sponsors told me, "You're in a very well-decorated rut. You even have wall-to-wall carpeting and curtains in it." As I continued trudging my road to happy destiny, her words would crop up in my head any time I got "stuck." I could see how far I had come each time, so I persevered and kept turning my fear into faith. As I continued to work the steps, I was led to new levels of recovery.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .


I put one foot in front of the other, keep taking the next right action and continue working the steps. I live the
promises of the program. Safety or growth? My choice is clear.
