M is for Making each day the best it can be. We have to put the effort into our recovery. It is a daily thing. Do you include recovery 'things' into your life daily. The meditations and readings for the day are good. It is also about getting out of Self, the great I am, and helping others that count. People were there for us when we got to the doors, we need to make room for those who come behind us. What a sad day it would be if someone came to a door, and no one was home.

M is for Me. It isn't about other people, it is about what has to be changed within me. This is a program of reflection. What I see in others, is reflected from within me.

M is for Memories. Our bodies have memories, just not our mind. They need healing too. We need to feel the feelings, in order to let them go.

The first time i realized it was in treatment in 1991, a girl had a terrible birth and she had used during her pregnancy and she went through labor pains in recovery several years later.

M is for Much. Much love, much care and attention to others. Get out of self and help someone else, it will bring you so much love.

M is for Music. Find the kind of music you like. My sponsor told me in early recovery that she felt like I connected to my God through music. I love the music and can do without the words. Meaditate and light a candle and play some music.

M is for Make. Make someone happy. More importantly, make yourself happy. If you aren't enjoying recovery, what are you doing wrong.

M is for Memory. We need to remember when. Remember before recovery, but remember early recovery too. I never wanted to go through detoxing again. A good incentive to not pick up that first drug. Alcohol is a drink too.

M is for Miss. Try not to miss too many meetings. i know when I missed one in early recovery, I was afraid I would relapse. All we have is a spiritual defence and isolating cuts me off from my God's Will for me.

M is for Mistakes. Don't like them. Do them often, especially when it comes to typing and spelling mistakes. I do tend to make them personal, and beat myself up, but I am better than I use to be. i had to learn keep saying to myself, "Just because you make a mistake, doesn't mean that you are a mistake.

M is for More. Instead of more drugs, which came in many forms, I like to think of more music, more friendships, more happy times, more dancing, and more program one day at a time.

M is for Maintain

One of the keys to sobriety: Maintain a balance: spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental.
