In recovery, I found a Higher Power.
When my mind and my heart is not giving me the correct direction in life;
Following either one of them gets me into big trouble.
I must not follow my mind and I must not follow my heart.
In recovery, I learn to accept the things I cannot control;
the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
I learn from the people in recovery that I have another choice.
I can give up « my ways » and follow a « new way. »
I learn to deny my ways, anything to do with what « I, me, myself » wants.
Whoever want to follow the new way must give up their ways.
What good will it be for me to gain the whole world, and loses my soul?
What am I willing to give in exchange for my soul?
The price is heavy if I follow my ways; my mind; my heart and gamble.
I may lose all the money; lose my family and any other person important to me in my life;
lose my career and the job I love; everything in my life just simply fall apart.
