~ SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

I always remember an epitaph which is in
the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It
says: 'Here lies Jack Williams. He done
his damnedest.' I think that is the
greatest epitaph a man can have.

Harry S. Truman

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

No matter what their drug of choice,
compulsives all have one thing in
common. If we don't practice our
program, we run the risk of relapsing
back into the disease.

What separates those who find recovery
and those who don't is this: those who
don't find recovery slip and fall, and
don't get up again. They figure, "I've
already relapsed, so why not just
continue using my drug of choice? Why
not wallow in my disease?"

Those who recover are like Jack
Williams...they do their damnedest. They
continue to read program literature,
they continue to do service, they
continue to reach out to others and to
their Higher Power. The winners in this
program don't wallow...they pick
themselves up, dust themselves off, and
keep on keeping on.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

I will do my damnedest. I will work my
program to the best of my ability, and
if I fall, I won't stay down.
