One Day at a Time
APATHY
“The world is a dangerous place to
live;
In my life as an addict, I found myself deteriorating in every way possible.
I was spiritually hungry, emotionally bereft, and physically a mess. I
stopped caring about people, places or things. I was apathetic to such a
degree that I no longer cared about anything.
not because of the people who are evil,
but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”
Albert Einstein
That gradually changed when I embraced the Twelve Steps. I began to open my
eyes to the world around me ~ the world 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 also in
the lives of those I cared about. I found myself loving more. I found I was
once again capable of having compassion.
I am no longer afraid to speak out when I see misdeeds. I don't cower before
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.
