Climbing

The more we are willing to risk in recovery, the more we stand to gain. We were willing to take outrageous risks in the lifestyle of use, often putting our life on the line in doing so. What do you think might happen if we took those same types of risks for my sobriety? Those who never take the risks towards recovery, unfortunately are miserable or die never getting the opportunity to benefit from the fruits that sobriety has to offer. You have the power to climb. And while you may not be perfect, when you give it everything you have, you will reap great rewards. Today, I will take healthy risks. I will not stay on the ground and stay the same, but rather I will climb vigorously to achieve my goals. Today, I am a person worthy of love and respect, and I will climb out of the depths of despair to climb to a life worth living.
