Before recovery, we never thought we had enough alcohol or other drugs. More would make us feel better, we thought. Sometimes we are like this in our recovery too. We know we need to change, so we want to do it all right now.
If we can just change ourselves totally, we'l feel better, we think.
But we can't change all at once. If we ask our Higher Power to take charge of our lives we'll have the chance to change a little at a time, We'll learn the right things when we need to know them.
