Our Gift Our Choice

[roverl0616]

The biggest thing we get from recovery when we're new is to be able to relearn what we already know differently, and that is, that we have a choice. The second biggest thing we get is the simplicity of being able to define, on our own, what we choose to believe in. This works and has saved millions of us from the self destruction of choosing not to believe in anything. Even when we could see the evidence everywhere in our faulty choice of believing in nothing, we knew there wasn't anything we could do to change the certain destiny that we could sense was part of that choice, and we knew it was coming to all of us who choose to believe in nothing. Recovery is what saves us from this, if only we're ready to receive what it has to offer to us. Remember as we open our gifts today that we in recovery have already received our biggest gifts and they have given us a new life, one that we don't deserve, but yet get anyways, just because of the simple choice we made to join recovery.
