What makes a good friend?? In Recovery?
What makes a good friend?? In Recovery?
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Addiction destroyed many of our relationships. It took away our ability to get close to others. The above quotation reminds us that real friends are more important than the people we hung around with while using alcohol or drugs.
Recovery is all about bettering our relationships. Our lives depend upon this. We find honest friends in recovery. We are not alone anymore. We are honest with each other about character defects and work to help each other have better, ever-closer relationships. Our lives also depend upon this. We work to help each other find a way out of the wilderness or at times just survive in the wilderness. Over time, we see that, even though people can be a pain at times, friendships and relationships are the best things in life.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, teach me how to be a good, honest friend. Comfort me as I travel in the wilderness of life.
Today’s Action
Today I will think about what makes a good friend. Then I will do an honest inventory of what type of friend I am. Am I there for others in the bad times as well as the good times?
