smile Good Morning to all. Hope those of you snowed in are starting to thaw out!!! Found this on a site I go to for daily readings. One of my favorite quotes is by Helen Keller "The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or even heard. They must be felt with the heart" (At least that's how I remember it) May you all feel many beautiful things in your hearts today. Peace

Keep It Simple

I thank God for my handicaps, for through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.---Helen Keller.
None of us ever wanted to be addicts. It's not what we would choose to be--- just as no one would choose to blind and deaf. Helen Keller, who was blind and deaf, told of how her problems became her biggest gift. Through them, she found true meaning in her life. We can accept our handicap---our addiction--- and learn from it. The truth is, we're all handicapped in some way. Recovery is about facing our addiction and learning to live with it. When we see we can't do things alone, we see the need for a Higher Power.
Prayer for the Day:  Higher Power, help me see myself as I really am. Give me the serenity that comes from accepting my handicaps.
Action for the Day:  Today, I'll list all the ways I am handicapped. I'll ask myself, "What gift does each of these hold for me?"

Great post. Turning weaknesses into strengths. Indeed my greatest strengths comes from surrender and acceptance.

I want to thank you for your post. I also believe 'addiction is a handicap'. All my 'handicaps' were the driving force that allowed me to dig inside of me. All that digging... years of it . All along I kept hearing small voice inside of me, 'this is Gods will, to keep me in one spot while I did mountains of spiritual work on self'

It was so very hard. Its easier now. Thank God for all that has happened. He was there during darkest hours, I could feel him.

Its very hard to explain. I did my best. Have a wonderful Valentines day brothers and sisters, May you give and/or receive love
