Study sickness when you are well.

~Thomas Fuller

Now is the time to learn about our sickness - addiction. It is a chronic illness. That means it never goes away. We have to live with it the best we can. Luckily, we can live with it - very well! Our program of recovery is so simple, and it feels so good, that we think we'll never give it up. But we can't take our recovery for granted.

Our disease is cunning, baffling, powerful. The more we know about it, the less we'll let it fool us. Some days we may find we're headed toward a slip. We must learn to recognize the first trouble signs in ourselves so we can get help to stay sober.
Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, my addiction is cunning, baffling, powerful. Don't let me use alcohol or other drugs again. Thank you for my sobriety today.
Action for the Day

Today I’ll learn my warning signs: I’ll list ten old thoughts, feelings, and actions that were part of my illness. I’ll share this with my sponsor.

Today's reading is from the book Keep it Simple: Daily Meditations for Twelve Step Beginnings and Renewal*
