Today I know that no one is without hope. Indeed, the best hope is in the very admission of hopelessness. ~ For Today (Kindle Locations 1056-1057).

We come to recovery admitting we’re powerless over addiction
and that our lives have become unmanageable. We may believe
that combination means we’re hopeless. But we’re not really
hopeless when we reach recovery. That very meeting
we hear others who have been where we are and who obviously
now have hope. When we grow enough hope to try the program
suddenly we, too have hope to share with those who feel none!
