Today's Thought - November

The great law of culture: let each become what he is capable of becoming.

~Thomas Carlyle

Each of us is unique, precious, human. We need to join in the movements of life and culture that encourage us to grow and change and live out the fullness of our potential.

By remaining immersed in our addiction, we are joining the dead in life, those who deny the possibility of growth and becoming. Addiction is a stunting illness that holds back the healthy forward movement of life.

In our recovery there are moments of hesitation and even of relapse. When this happens we do not lose faith in ourselves because we are constantly strengthened by working our program. We gain insight by following the Steps, and we find support and strength in our groups and our Higher Power. And so we continue to reconnect with our own rhythm and pattern of growth.

I am part of a living culture and capable of change and growth.
