  in recovery I'm no longer the problem. With my program of recovery there are spiritual principles of goodness that lift me from self-centered thinking and actions. With the moral and ethical values of integrity, my spirit is driven to be a part of the solution.

  I recognize Spirit is feelings within me, within others, and within nature. The Spirit itself is unseen, untouched, not material, but spirit reflects itself through its relationships with all living things. Spirit can be found through fear or trust, self-pity or gratitude, resentment or acceptance, and dishonesty or honesty. Spirit is much like the wind. I can't see it, but I can experience the effects through its relationships with living things. I'll find progress today by living with a positive spirit.

  I find it fulfilling to actively listen with care when others share their thoughts. I find it's important to identify with, then reflect the feelings of others, rather than compare or judge. I find a spirit of meaningful understanding and humility when I care enough to actively listen and share with utmost respect for other's thoughts and feelings.

  I can rise with the occasion. My thoughts and actions of my addictive past were inadequate then, and inadequate in the present. In recovery I can think and act in a new and different way. I can seek and find opportunities for growth and positive change in every difficult circumstance. I can rise with the occasion!

  I have a program of recovery. It tells me that courage is not the absence of fear. It says that I must acknowledge my fear. It teaches me that courage is the willingness to do the right thing in spite of my fear.

  of moments I can stay in the moment, with no regrets for yesterday or worrying about tomorrow. I'm grateful to try and fill this day with simple moments of good - seen, heard, and accomplished. Today, my inner dialog will try to be positive. When today has ended, I'll look back at it with satisfaction, serenity, and gratitude.

  my life has taken on new meaning. The experience of contact with others, in person, the shaking of hands, the sharing of names, our contact info, our stories, our common bond, and knowing we'll meet again as friends. It's human, honest, and fulfilling to share meaningful time with others in this fellowship of recovery.

    Genuine human connection is necessary, essential, but it requires significant intention on my part.

  I can overcome the uncertainty in my life with hope. Hope creates a positive self dialog for me. Hope implies little certainty, but it does suggest a confidence and assurance that what I long for could happen, despite all uncertainty.

  my program of recovery guides me toward positive values. I find these values as I meditate on the spiritual principles of the 12 steps.
