  • Keeping your word, delivering on promises
  • Keeping commitments in actions and
    appointments
  • Keeping yourself and surroundings neat and clean
  • Staying focused on a task up to completion
  • Keeping honest company – being judged by the
    friends we have
  • Taking responsibility for actions and mistakes
  • Showing respect and concern for others.
    Am I living a life of honesty and integrity?

  • I ask God for integrity in all my affairs today.

Remember Mindfulness – relax your whole body gradually

Integrity

Personal integrity is part of my mission in recovery. I
should also be aware of the need to preserve the
integrity of the Twelve Step programme. We who
follow this path are the custodians of a tradition that
goes back many decades. It is strong and successful
because it has integrity. We too must not compromise
with our Steps or our Traditions. The urge to adapt
and improve things has led to trouble in many areas of
life. If we want to improve something, then it should
be ourselves, not the programme. Am I prepared to
accept the programme without compromise?

The Twelve Step fellowships are strong, but we must
constantly be checking their health, as well as our
own. Many great institutions are destroyed not by
outside enemies, but from inside. It is the crooked
timber of our own humanity that puts the stress on
the edifice. Our own prejudices and ignorance are
the threat. Today I ask God for the strength and
integrity to keep the message of recovery constant,
without compromise.

Remember Mindfulness – send positive thoughts

Giving it away to keep it


To paraphrase US President JF Kennedy: Ask not
what your recovery can do for you but what you
can do for your recovery. Happy recovery is not
possible if we are driven by our egos. We must give
recovery away in order to keep it. Another President
(Roosevelt) announced a ‘New Deal’ to end the Great
Depression in the 1930’s. Recovery is our New Deal,
and we must make it work. Fortunately, in the
Twelve Steps, we have the means, so that recovery of,
by and for addicted people, is entirely possible. It is
our blessing and our salvation. Enough paraphrasing.
Will I work to keep my recovery by giving it away?


Give and it will be given to you. With the blessing of
recovery comes responsibility to pass it on to the less
fortunate. We must never allow ourselves to be
simply takers because selfishness inevitably causes
alienation and leads back to isolation and selfprotective
attitudes. Before we know it, we are back
in the vicious cycle of meeting our own selfish needs
before everything else. Today I ask God for the gift
of altruism so I may help myself by helping others.
