Remember Mindfulness – close eyes

Gratitude

In active addiction nothing made sense, nothing
could be predicted, and nothing trusted. The world
did not suddenly fall into place when we sobered up
but at least we became more sensible, predictable,
and trustworthy. Soon we saw that we did have two
things that we could absolutely depend upon – a
Higher Power and the Twelve Step fellowships. In
fact, they were parts of the same thing because they
provided us with the support we needed. Anyone
reading the Twelve Steps will see how
interconnected they are. In a world where few
people live in a conventional family and many rely
on medication just to be able to function, we in
recovery can count ourselves fortunate. Am I truly
grateful for Twelve Step recovery in my life?

To addicted people, recovery is all about beating
addiction, but we should be mindful of the many
dedicated people working in general healthcare who
cheerfully shoulder the daily responsibility of caring
for the sick, regardless of the often-severe cost to
themselves. Today I give thanks for all who
unselfishly care for others in the healing professions.
