A New Look at a New Year by Staff Member John L.
John L. is still fairly new to our treatment center team, but he brings some serious and dedicated recovery to our facility. Here are his thoughts on starting a new year in recovery.
A New year: 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes–a time to consider directions, goals, and actions.
I must make some plans to live a
normal life, but also I must live emotionally within a twenty-four hour frame,
for if I do, I don’t have to make N
ew Year’s resolutions! I can make every day a
New Year’s day!
If I stay sober, I can decide, “Today I will do this . . . Today I will do that.” Each day I can measure my life by trying to a little better, by deciding to follow God’s will and making an effort to put the principles of our A.A. program into action.
