My Thoughts


In recovery we have the opportunity to choose our feelings, and then act as if we really felt as good as we'd like to. In other words, we act our way into right feeling and thinking. Deciding to be enthusiastic about whatever our day brings us is a good practice to develop. Decide to be enthusiastic and then act your way into that feeling. Enthusiasm is contagious, and it produces results.

Action for the Week

Help me be enthusiastic about today.
