Heaven and hell is right now. . You make it heaven or you make it hell by your actions.----George Harrison
We used chemicals to feel better, but we started feeling worse. We were out of control. Life seemed like hell.
Now we have a program that tells us how to make life better. Some days, it even feels like heaven! But we have to work our program to make our own heaven.
Working the program isnt too hard. And it makes us feel so good. So, why dont we do it all the time? Maybe were a little afraid of heaven. Its time to learn to love having a better life!
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me work my program each day, so each day has a little bit of heaven in it. Help me get used to having a better life.
Action for the Day: Tonight, Ill think about the moments of kindness, joy, hope and faith that put a little bit of heaven into my life today.
 

Keep It Simple

Beauty is not caused. It is.--- Emily Dickinson
Probably, there have been many times when we thought we werent beautiful. We thought we were ugly. We thought we were bad people. This is a natural part of addiction. Our program tells us were good, were beautiful. Do we believe this? Do we accept this part of the program?
Beauty is an attitude, just as self-hate is an attitude. We need to keep the attitude that were beautiful. We owe it to ourselves and to those around us. And, yes, its true that you must love yourself before you can love others. Remember, ours is a selfish program. We have to love and see ourselves as beautiful, before we can give it to others.
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me claim my beauty. Help me to see that, sometimes, I have to be selfish to grow.
Action for the Day: Today, Ill work at falling in love with myself.
