Love in fellowship.

Gratitude and acceptance are two magic tricks available to us in recovery. We may eventually become so happy that we realize our present circumstances are good.

Or we master our present circumstances and then move forward into the next set of circumstances. If we become stuck, miserable, feeling trapped and hopeless, try gratitude and acceptance.

If we feel like all is dark and the night will never end, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we feel scared and uncertain, try gratitude and acceptance.

If we’ve tried everything else and nothing seems to work, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we’ve been fighting something, try gratitude and acceptance.

When all else fails, go back to the BASICS.
