We know we are weak and powerless over our addictions to People, Places or Things- ALL or NOTHING!!!
If you sit in the barber chair long enough, you’re bound to get your hair cut.

In recovery, we stay aware and keep in contact with our Higher Power. We keep our addictions in check with our Step work. We now know the difference between what is right and wrong for us. We know we are weak and powerless over our addictions to People, Places or Things- ALL or NOTHING!!!
We know it is only by the grace of our Higher Power that we can keep ourselves from our addictions.
We know it is only by the grace of our Higher Power that we can keep ourselves from our addictions.
So we learn to stay away from slippery places and slippery people. We know we are always just one step away from relapse. We have learned how our wills, uncontrolled, will always look for shortcuts to happiness. When our contact with our Higher Power is weak, we begin to listen to the voices that call us back into the dark days before the program. Our minds play tricks on us. They only let us remember the true and beautiful moments, not the dark and ugly days and nights before the program.
I will stay clear of slippery people and places.
