JUST FOR TODAY! -- Healing

From "A Lifetime Process:"

"When I began working the Steps of the AA program ... the most broken places of my life straightened out.  One day at a time, almost imperceptibly, I healed.  Like a thermostat being turned down, my fears diminished.  I began to experience moments of contentment.  My emotions became less volatile.  I am now once again a part of the human family."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

It is a lifetime process -- not much different than our addiction being a life time process as well.  Although I knew with my first high – this was something very powerful and attractive to me – it took awhile before I became totally out of control and fully addicted.

It stands to reason then that recovery will be something I will be working for the rest of my life.  God really does intend our lives to be a growing and learning process.  Jesus came to this earth as a baby – to show us the example of life.  He grew – so we too, will grow -- in the beginning we grew negatively, with recovery, we grow sober, sane, and productive, once again being “part of the human family.”  Grow today, it is never too late -- keep coming back!

“Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit,
hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.  

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,
so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. -- I Peter 2:1-3
