Enduring Loss, Reclaiming Joy
We come to understand happiness as an inside job, a spiritual experience that gets stronger with recovery. No matter what happens on the outside, joy can live within us. I'll shine the light of gratitude on my life today and experience joy. #SPAD

Finding and Extending Acceptance
"Regardless of who we are, where we've been, or what we've done, we find in [recovery] a place of empathy, acceptance, welcome, and belonging." Today I will ask myself, "What can I do to be more welcoming to my fellows?"

Kindness Reflected in Our Growth
". . . we learn that people see goodness in us that perhaps we don't see in ourselves. Our fellows reflect us back to ourselves and show us how we have changed." I'll aim to be kind and generous today. #SPAD

Approaching Life Creatively
"When we are engaged in creative action of the spirit, whether in our personal lives or in our service work, we may be surprised by the solutions that present themselves." I will approach life creatively today. #SPAD

Maintaining an Open Mind
"New information can be hard for us to accept when it doesn't come to us in the way we think it should." I will entertain the possibility that I don't always know what's best, making space to consider the ideas of others, no matter whose they are. #SPAD

Learning to Love Ourselves
"We've begun to see that God's will for us is the ability to live with dignity, to love ourselves & others, to laugh, & to find great joy and beauty in our surroundings." I'll take time to reflect on the abundance recovery has brought to my life. #SPAD

Finding Balance in Our Lives
"Each of us seeks our own balance that allows us to participate in the world without sacrificing our recovery or putting ourselves at risk." #SPAD

Equality in Anonymity
[we have] no classes of membership and no second-class members. The common denominator...is the disease of addiction. We are all equally subject to its devastation. We share an equal right to recovery. #SPAD

Showing Up with Integrity
"Integrity is the state of being fully integrated: Our actions, our thinking, our feelings, our ideals, and our values all match up." I'll practice integrity by reliably being all that I am, ensuring that my actions reflect what's inside me. #SPAD

Humility Grounds Us
"The practice of humility helps us be honest about our circumstances. We learn to live and give within the limits of our lives." Today I will maintain a realistic perspective on my circumstances and exercise humility when offering to contribute or serve. #SPAD

Autonomy & the Ties That Bind
"Autonomy offers us the freedom to try new things, & we demonstrate courage when we make new efforts to better carry our message." I'll appreciate both the freedom that group autonomy offers & the continuity that our guiding principles provide. #SPAD

Surrender to What?
"Surrender...is what happens after we've accepted the First Step as something that is true for us and have accepted that recovery is the solution." I'm going to take a moment to find where in my life I am still resisting recovery as the solution to my problems.

Perseverance Helps Us Stay
"We may tire mentally in repeating our new ideas and tire physically in our new activities, yet we know that if we fail to repeat them we will surely take up our old practices."

Tolerance and Toxic Relationships
A member found that amends meant not tolerating abuse anymore...
I can forgive myself for tolerating mistreatment in the past and make amends to myself by rethinking my approach to my most challenging relationships. #SPAD

Powerlessness and the Second Step
"By admitting our own powerlessness, we open our minds to an entirely new idea: the possibility that something greater than ourselves might be powerful enough to relieve our obsession..."

The Value of Consistency
"When we attend meetings regularly, people get to know us and see us over time." Simply having my butt in a seat at a meeting won't keep me clean or magically make me recover. But it's a damn good place to start! #SPAD

Willingness Makes a Difference
When we show up with an open mind and a willingness to be of service, the rewards can be far greater than our efforts. I'm willing to show up and give of myself today. It will remind me of the abundance I enjoy as a result of my recovery. #SPAD

Inspired to Understand
"We begin to understand that other people have real feelings and that we are capable of hurting them if we are careless." I have a choice about my behavior today. I choose to be considerate of other people's feelings and my own emotional well-being. #SPAD

Caring for Ourselves, Caring for Others
"We need to develop empathy and concern for others, and to let go of self- obsession without losing sight of ourselves." I can care about others while still caring for myself. #SPAD

The Value of Our Individuality
"We are mindful of our behavior and our surroundings without giving up our individuality." Fellowship encourages me to be wholly myself, which I'll do to the best of my ability. #SPAD
