My best thinking got me this far. Thank God I learned to reach out and ask for help. Thank God I came to understand that I cannot nor need not do it all alone. Thank God I became humble enough to let something in. Whatever got me here, I am grateful because recovery brings grace. The world is opening up to me in a whole new way. I can, with the support of others traveling this path, learn new ways of being. I can surrender, let go and let God and live life a day at a time, appreciating its quiet radiance. Life, lived like this, takes on whole new meaning and purpose for me, simplified, distilled and manageable. It is enough. It is emotionally sober. Today I feel blessed and even thrilled to be learning a new design for living. A new design for living that certainly beats the old one.

I embrace a new design for living
