Writings of Recovery

The title of a recovery article was ‘Stepping Stones, Nuggets, and Gems’. Recovery is full of all of these.

Stepping Stones – The beauty and brilliance of how each step in the 12 steps prepare me for the next step. I don’t have to worry about future steps. I just focus on the one I am on and that step strengthens and lifts me to the next step. A true stepping stone.

Nuggets- How many nuggets have been found through the sharing of other fellows? Through the daily readers and literature? The little bits that I could focus on for that single day?

Gems- Oh, the gems. The declarations of recovery and truth that stick with me and stay with me and keep me in program. These gems are incredibly precious and valuable to my recovery. I gratefully share these gems with my fellows in recovery because I know these gems multiply and become even more valuable to our individual and collective well being.
