Vision without limits
“Perhaps for the first time, we see a vision of our new life.”
Basic Text p. 34
In our addiction, our vision of ourselves was very limited. Each day, we went through
the same routine: getting, using, and finding ways and means to get more. And
that’s all we could reasonably expect for the duration of our lives. Our potential was
limited.
Today, our prospects are changed. Recovery has given us a new vision of ourselves
and our lives. We are no longer trapped in the endlessly gray routine of addiction.
We are free to stretch ourselves in new ways, trying out new ideas and new
activities. In doing so, we come to see ourselves in a new way. Our potential is
limited only by the strength of the Higher Power that cares for us-and that strength
has no limits.
In recovery, life and everything in it appears open to us. Guided by our spiritual
principles, driven by the power given us by the God of our understanding, our
horizons are limitless.
Just for today: I will open my eyes to the possibilities before me. My potential is as
limitless and as powerful as the God of my understanding. Today, I will act on that
potential.
