TODAY AND EVERYDAY, I PRAY TO BE EVER MINDFUL THAT RECOVERY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. I MAY BELIEVE MY JOB, OR MY HOME LIFE, OR ONE OF MANY OTHER THINGS, COMES FIRST. BUT IF I DON'T STAY WITH THE PROGRAM, CHANGES ARE I WON'T HAVE A JOB, A FAMILY, SANITY, OR EVEN LIFE. IF I AM CONVINCED THAT EVERYTHING IN LIFE DEPENDS ON MY RECOVERY, I HAVE A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF IMPROVING MY LIFE. IF I PUT OTHERS THINGS FIRST, I AM ONLY HURTING MY CHANCES.

To me putting recovery first is the same as putting my HP first....above all else the way it should be. It has been proven to me time and time again that any of those other things HAVE to be put behind my recovery/HP or it will all go haywire.
This prayer reminds me of that. Something I need to do often in order to continue on the right path.
This is so true and just recently i have re committed myself to the program and am makings meetings, sometimes several a day now and i feel better already.
