Often we have to face some type of crisis during our recovery,
such as the death of a loved one, financial difficulties or divorce.
These are realities of life, and they don’t go away just because
we get clean. Some of us, even after years of recovery, found
ourselves jobless, homeless or penniless. We entertained the
thought that staying clean was not paying off, and the old thinking
stirred up self-pity, resentment and anger. No matter how
painful life’s tragedies can be for us, one thing is clear, we must
not use, no matter what!

Thank you God for granting us favor. I was taught that phrase by a recovering addict with a lot more years than I have. I continue to live and learn. For some reason the God of my understanding allows it. Every day that I wake up, every day that I breathe morning's fresh air is another day to do what is set out for me that day and a gift from God. I have found that I can plan, plans not results. I can only do the next right thing. God's will for me is to stay clean today and to do what is necessary for me to stay clean. Yes, it is simple. Thank you God granting us favor.
