Recovery is learning new responses, feeling and behaving in healthier ways. ~ Casey, Karen. Each Day a New Beginning: Daily Meditations for Women (Kindle Location 2039). Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Recovery is laying aside our crutch,
learning we’re not in charge,
not to carry the world on our shoulder,
finding there’s a greater Power
ready, willing and able to bear the load.
Our former crutch, be it alcohol,
drugs, food, gambling, sex,
or codependency is only
kept in abeyance by
daily living of the program,
learning new responses,
feeling and behaving in healthier ways.
Recovery is being restored to sanity!
