EFFORT
“Only I can change my life.
For years I wanted to make changes in my life but I could never figure out
how to do it. I believed that others had the knowledge and experience I
needed and I thought they would help me, but that never worked. It wasn’t
until I began to follow the Twelve Step Program that I started to realize I
had the power to take action and make those changes myself. I discovered
that I was the only person who could change my life.
~ Cindi L.
No one
can do it for me.”
Carol Burnett
I joined a Step study group and began to work my way through the 12 Steps.
That led to a deeper awareness of my thoughts, behaviors, and
perceptions. These Steps helped me to accept that change was needed and
that I would have to do all the work. Recovery demands that I continuously
change. And change requires effort.
It may be that I am the only one who can change my life, but I have a great
deal of support in doing that. With the help of my Higher Power, my sponsor,
my sponsees and the entire 12 Step fellowship, I move forward in my program
by my daily efforts to make needed changes.
One day at a time...
Hand-in-hand with my recovery support team,
I make the necessary changes in my life.
