  The challenges in my life are better faced when I live in recovery. It's not just the alcohol. As I face the process of recovery from cancer treatment, I can apply my addiction recovery tools to this as well. Sure, my energy is constrained, but not my acceptance or perseverance. All I have to do is try, knowing God is with me, I'm not alone. If it's just an ounce of willingness I find, it's enough to make a start. My attitude changes to one of gratitude. I find another ounce of willingness in that, and I can try once again to do the next right thing with acceptance, perseverance, willingness and an attitude of gratitude.

  Now that I'm pretty sure the chance of any freeze is gone, I'm grateful to be anticipating going on my Springtime Plants and Flowers Spree. One of my very favorite times of the year.

  As I was getting out of the car to bring the groceries in the house I heard children outside playing.
  
  Little boys were hollering and little girls were screaming with the delight of being with each other in some game they had probably made up.
  
  I paused and smiled realizing it was one of the most beautiful sounds I had ever heard.

  there is a God and it's not me. I think of my life in addiction when my self-will would win the day. After 30 years of drinking with poor decisions and relationships damaged it was time to make a decision. With willingness to turn my will over to the care of AA and the fellowship, and with Good Orderly Direction as my guide, my life has changed for the better.

  pledging to live in recovery is how I start my day. It's the stop before my start to the day. I find it best to visit the spiritual principles of my program of recovery as a start, then I go visit life. I can carry this forward throughout my day. I can refresh my thinking at all times when I stop before I start.

  my life is improving each day. It's because I've made a decision to live in recovery each day. I've made a decision to turn my will (my thinking) and my life (my behaviors) over to the good orderly direction I've found in the fellowship of AA, my meetings, my sponsor, and positive spiritual principals. This decision is changing my life in a better way each day. I believed and had hope it could restore me to sanity. Now I have faith in this decision because it works.

  while living in recovery I find hope. I recall the powerlessness I had over alcohol, the unmanageability, the insanity and the hopelessness of my life in addiction. When I go to meetings, I find hope. The fellowship of men and women that share their experience, strength and hope is a power greater than myself that restores me to sanity. It's through the fellowship and my meetings that I came to believe there's hope for me.
