Harmony, Alignment, and Balance "When our bodies, minds, & spirits are in harmony, our lives show the difference. We are able to live in balance." I'll take stock of how I am physically, mentally, & spiritually. What can I do to establish some balance and spark some harmony #SPAD

Staying Open-Minded to New Ideas "Being open-minded allows us to hear something that might save our lives. It allows us to listen to opposing points of view, and come to conclusions of our own." #SPAD

Restraint as an Expression of Freedom "Just staying in our seat without checking our phone or creating side conversation can be surprisingly difficult..." Restraint is an expression of freedom. The freedom "to do" is also the freedom "not to do." I'll practice that today. #SPAD

Giving Generously, Expecting Nothing "One small act of generosity can work wonders . . ." Part of recovery is giving generously and expecting nothing in return. I will give freely today, knowing I might not see the reach of my generosity. #SPAD

Honesty Versus Denial "When we fully concede to our innermost selves that we are powerless over our addiction, we have taken a big step in our recovery." I don't need to get back in the ring with the champ or suffer denial's low blows to know there's still work to do. #SPAD

Faith When Times Are Tough "Getting through hard times strengthens our faith." No matter what I'm going through, I have enough resolve to stay clean one more day. Today I have faith in my program and in myself. #xa #SPAD

Tapping into Creativity ". . . when we are spiritually connected, creativity flows through us. This doesn't necessarily mean that we paint or make music (though it can), but that we can see solutions to problems and find satisfaction in doing whatever we do as best we can." #SPAD

Anonymity as Our Spiritual Foundation "Our spiritual foundation is not a question of whether we know each other's last names; it's that we accept each other regardless of who we are and what we have done." #SPAD

Optimism & That Storied Glass of Water "Just for today my thoughts will be on my recovery, living and enjoying life..." Being in recovery means I no longer have to wonder whether the glass is half empty or half full. Not only do I have what I need, I have enough to share. #SPAD

Finding Humility in Unity "We learn when it's important to stand for principles, and when it's best to step aside in the name of unity, knowing that a loving God is ultimately in charge." #SPAD

Conscience and Step Ten "We need to stay in tune with the voice of our conscience and listen to what it's telling us. When we get a nagging feeling that something isn't quite right, we should pay attention to it." #SPAD

Cultivating Curiosity "We keep learning and growing, finding ways to live and to use our experience to help others. No matter how long we have been clean, there is still more for us to learn and more for us to share." #SPAD

Accepting All of Me "We make peace with ourselves--with all we have gained, and lost, and learned, and become." Today I strive to accept who I am, what it took to get here, and where I am now. My past does not own me. Instead, I will use it as a tool to help others. #SPAD

Freedom, Wherever We Are "The ability to grow spiritually enables us to find freedom... Our greatest freedom is not outside ourselves but within." Wherever I am, whatever is going on, I'll seek inner freedom by letting thoughts and feelings come and go without disturbing my peace

Contemplating the Gift of Grace "Each day, we are faced with new challenges. And each day, through working our program of recovery, we are given the grace to meet those challenges." Even if I don't fully understand the gift of grace, I will accept it anyway. #SPAD

Interdependence and the Spirit of Unity I will practice interdependence by relying on others and allowing them to rely on me. Our program only becomes stronger with our collective empathy, our creativity, our hope, our unity. Today I will participate in all that. #SPAD

Service Brings Out the Best in Us "Just as making amends teaches us to be more forgiving, selfless service brings generosity, compassion, and awareness of purpose." I will nurture my humanity by serving my program, my family, my friends, and my community. #xa #SPAD

Intimacy Is Complicated but Worth It "...it may take quite some time to figure out the difference between being sexual and being intimate." Intimacy is complicated, & I can't possibly figure it out today. Instead, I'll focus on getting to know myself & being considerate of others

Caring and Listening "Even with many years clean, separating and reconciling what's in our heart and what's in our head doesn't come automatically. We need another set of eyes; we need a caring, attentive listener to help us sort things out." #SPAD

Purpose and Our Path Forward "Faith in the process means believing that we are moving in the right direction, even if it's not where we thought we would be going." I can't predict the future, but I believe I have one. I will move in a direction and see where the path leads. #SPAD
