A MOMENT FOR YOU
What’s one small step you can take today?
No perfect answers. Just a little room to reflect.
“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
– Dale Carnegie
I certainly do not claim to have accomplished anything great for mankind in my lifetime. But I will say that I am a fighter, I simply do not recognize the word “NO”. Ask my parents! If I hit a dead-end I find another way. If it becomes apparent I am banging my head against the wall, I readjust, realign and recommit to the next step. Now this could be hazardous if I am in pursuit of something harmful but in the recovered life it is helpful.We are the most driven people on the face of this earth. When I hear someone tell me they can’t do it, I cringe. I know they can do it and do it well! I know that they have the capacity to be honest, open and persistent. I know that they can tough it out like no one else! As much as they have a low tolerance for pain in the early stages, they can endure like no one else. How do I know this? Through years of being an example, through years of seeing others in my same situation do it as well. I know because I had examples before me! “I Can’t” is really “I Won’t” in disguise. When we recognize that we begin to win!
Go, Go, Go…

Keep the conversation going.
Sometimes hearing another person’s experience helps an idea settle in. Explore conversations about recovery, community, and finding a way forward.
