Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
One of the games our mind plays with us during withdrawal is to suggest that if we were addicted to one chemical, that was our problem and maybe we could use another type of chemical to help us. But switching chemicals will insure that we never get well, because the disease is not a chemical–it is a dysfunction to any mind-affecting chemical.
If I learn nothing else this hour, help me understand that the disease is not a drug but a reaction to drugs.
Gifts
Today I will be thankful for the many gifts that are mine. Life is a gift. Health is a gift. Love is a gift. Friends and family are gifts. If I take the time to say thank you, I have so many things to be thankful for. When I learn to say thank you, to give praise and gratitude, my life immediately feels more full.
I embrace the gifts that surround me
– Tian Dayton PhD

Pocket Sponsor – Book – Quote
We often hear ‘turn it over.’ This means turn over problems not under our control right now–whether they are with family, friends, work, or the law–we offer the things we cannot change to a Higher Power and LET GO.
If I turn it over and don’t let go, I’ll be upside down!
