Making choices

It’s a fine thing to say: Build your life around your recovery, but what does that really mean? Firstly, as with any building, the foundations must be strong: I commit to complete sobriety, personal growth, keeping sober company, attending meetings and doing service – all on a regular basis. Secondly, I commit to spiritual growth through working the Twelve Steps and maintaining a dialogue with a power greater than myself. Thirdly, I commit to carrying the message to others. With these three commitments firmly established, I can attend to other matters: family, work and other interests. Whenever I have a choice to make about the future for myself or my loved ones, will I first apply the litmus test: will this be right for my recovery?

I must keep a positive attitude to my recovery and not allow compromises or be complacent. Regular maintenance is essential. But I must also keep an open mind and not shut myself off from new ideas. The internet is an example of a new approach to unity that many fellowships have successfully embraced. Today I give thanks to God for my recovery and ask to remain open-minded to new ideas.
