In my life as an addict, I found myself deteriorating in every possible way. I was spiritually hungry, emotionally bereft and physically a mess. I began not to care about people, places or things. I was apathetic to a point that I cared about nothing.

As I embraced the Twelve Steps, I began to open my eyes to the world around me, the world that I had shut out. The more I worked the Steps, the more I saw the reality of things. I became less selfish and began to try to make a difference, not only in my own life, but in the lives of those I cared about. I found myself loving more. I found I was once again capable of compassion.

I am no longer afraid to speak out when I see misdeeds. I don't cower from those who would do harm to others. I embrace the good and the bad in this world I call home.

One Day at a Time . . .
I will do my part in making the world a better place.
I will listen and hear what my Higher Power has in
mind for me.
