Interaction with a part of the service structure
Hardships
Just for Today: 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.
Giving It Away
Just for Today: The gift of recovery grows when I share it. I will find someone with whom to share it.
The First Step – An Action Step
Just for Today: I will take all the action necessary to practice the First Step. I truly believe it applies to me.
An Every-Day Addict
Just for Today: I am an addict every day, but today I have the choice to be a recovering addict. I will make that choice by practicing my program.
Learning how to live again
Just for Today: I know more about how to live than I did yesterday, but not as much as I’ll know tomorrow. Today, I’ll learn something new.
Self-Centeredness
Just for Today: My guidance and my strength comes from a Higher Power, not from my own self. I will practice the Twelve Steps to become more God-centered and less self-centered.
