"Fear is the thief of dreams." (Anonymous)

I found through Step 4 that my life had been totally driven by fear...all kinds. Anyone else have that experience? So today I pledge to be aware of any fear today and remember that I am never alone when I ask my Higher Power for help. Pledge with me today.

"The most difficult matter is not so much to change the world as yourself." (Nelson Mandela)

This quote reminds me of trying to control everyone and everything. So today I pledge to be free of my addictions and to remember that I cannot control anyone but myself. If control is/was one of your issues, free yourself today.

"If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." (Dolly Parton)

This is a good quote for today because I can pledge to be free of my addictions and to remember that I must live life on life's terms; that means accepting everything my Higher Power throws my way. Pledge acceptance today.

No quote today because I used my diminishing weekly brain power on my article. But, it is still a good day to pledge to be free from all of my addictions and to pray for those who still suffer. Joine me!

"Be realistic. Plan for a miracle." (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)

The miracle does happen when we live the 12 Steps and only Step 1 has to be perfect. So I pledge today to remember that I am powerless over my addictions and with the help of my Higher Power will be free of them just for today.

"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open." (Frank Zappa)

Isn't this what the program teaches us? To be teachable is to practice humility. I pledge today to be free of my addictions and to open my mind to to whatever and whomever I encounter today. Pledge with me and share it with someone else.

"There are always more choices than you think." (Catherine DeVrye)

Today I do have a choice. I can give in to my addiction or I can stay away. I pledge that for today I'm going to stay away from my addiction and any behavior that reminds me of it. Will you do the same?

"Everyone who is successful must have dreamed of something." (Maricopa N.A. Proverb)

In recovery we can have real dreams of success and can make them a reality. Today I will be free of my addictions and take positive action to make my dreams my successes. I hope you can take this pledge with me just for today.

"Housework can't kill you but why take the chance?" (Phyllis Diller)

I just read that quote on my bella editors page and thought I'd send something humorous for a change. Ironically, I couldn't do housework without a drink in my hand so maybe it is not all that humorous. But today life is different and I pledge today to remember Step 1 and that is that I am powerless. Renew Step 1 with me today.
