Remember Mindfulness – review expectations

Opportunity of recovery

When we first experience the Twelve Step way of
recovery, a lot of the ideas seem quite alien: admit
that you’re powerless, hand it over, explore
character defects, a day at a time – it’s as if we’re
being asked to reveal our inadequacies for no good
reason. As always, our response is crucial – do we
choose to see the positive or the negative in all this?
What could be seen as a major stumble along life’s
pathway can also be seen as the perfect opportunity
to reinvent ourselves. Am I willing to see the great
opportunity offered by recovery?

Confronting a problem and exercising choice in
what to do about it, will not solve the problem. We
still have to do something about it. Accept
powerlessness and unmanageability, change our
attitudes and behaviour, seek help, follow the Steps
until healthy habits are established. It may seem a
lot, but thousands have lived happy lives by doing
just that. I ask today for the courage to take positive
action and for the understanding of my values,
principles and needs that will lead me to the right
course.
