Keep it Simple

They have rights who dare defend them. —Roger Baldwin—
In recovery, we regain our right to have choices, our right to have honest relationships. Do we claim these rights,

or do we let them go by?
Sometimes, standing up for our rights will mean going against the crowd. It will mean turning down that drink when everyone else has one. It will mean telling your honest opinion when it’s different from the others think. Being sober will mean, at times being different. Lots of times, we find being different hard. We want to fit in. This is normal.
But we don’t stand alone. We have friends who will stand with us during hard times. We have a Higher Power who will guide and comfort us. We are people with rights. Let’s work hard so nothing takes away our rights.
Prayer for the Day:  Higher Power, please help me keep and defend my dignity and human rights.
Action for the Day:  I’ll take time out to list the rights I’ve gotten back due to my recovery.
