~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

01-24 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

Among the many gifts that we are offered in The Program is the gift of freedom.  Paradoxically, however, the gift of freedom is not without a price-tag; freedom can only be achieved by paying the price called ACCEPTANCE.  Similarly, if we can surrender to God's guidance, it will cost us our self-will, that "commodity" so precious to those of us who have always thought we could and should run the show.  IS MY FREEDOM TODAY WORTH THE PRICE-TAG OF ACCEPTANCE?

TODAY I PRAY
May God teach me acceptance -- the ability to accept the things I cannot change.  God also grant me courage to change those things I can.  God help me to accept the illness of my addiction and give me the courage to change my addictive behavior.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Accept the addiction. 
Change the behavior.
