I used to think that being young was good and being old was undignified. But then, I found program, and program helped me find the natural wisdom that comes from living over time without my drug.

Now, middle-aged, I feel a power, wisdom and dignity I've never felt before. Youth was good. This is good, too. For me, in fact, it's better. I know myself at last. I have so many more resources inside me. I am grateful to be in my middle years.

As I get older, I seem to be getting more innocent. I have less of a need to fit in or please others or do things because everyone else is doing them.

Somehow or another, this has cleared my vision, and it is easier for me to see things the way they really are, and to appreciate things for themselves.

In the end, it is easier, every day, to see myself for who I really am and to accept and to love myself.

One day at a time...
I am willing to be innocent and new, to follow wherever my Higher Power leads me next.
