...To dry my eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and start again...

Robert Browning

When things didn't go my way, I would

stamp my feet, lose my temper, and walk

away. I was the world's greatest quitter!

The Twelve Step program of recovery

teaches me that when I trip over

something, I can pick myself up, dust

myself off, and start over at any

time. I can turn whatever I stumble over

into an opportunity for growing and

learning.



ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

When confronted by roadblocks to my recovery, I can humble myself and ask my High er Power, "What do YOU want for me to learn from this?" I can turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones and move on in my recovery journey.
