Change and Growth

[Rockin Big Daddy]

“When someone points out a shortcoming, our first reaction may be
defensive. There will always be room for growth.”
~Basic Text, p. 35

Recovery is a process that brings about change in our lives. We need
that change if we are to continue our growth toward freedom. It’s
important that we remain open-minded when others point out our
shortcomings, for they are bringing to light opportunities for us to
change and grow. Reacting defensively limits our ability to receive
the help they are offering us; letting go of our defenses opens the
door to change, growth, and new freedom.

Each day in the recovery process will bring an opportunity for further
change and growth. The more we learn to greet change with an open
mind and heart, the more we will grow and the more comfortable we will
become with our recovery.

Just for today: I will greet each opportunity for growth with an open
mind. :11:

Everything changes nothing remains the same. Even in active use everything changes, its just for the worse. In recovery, everything still changes, this time for the better, even if some times it doesn't appear or feel that way. I am changing and growing as I write this post. I am sober change moment by moment.
