Don't allow your pride to stop you from positioning yourself in a circle where you are the least successful one. There is no denial that you could learn some valuable things from people who are more successful than you, that could take you to a much higher level in life.

~Edmond Mbiaka

We often hear "stick with the winners." Not everyone in Twelve Step meetings is there for recovery, but many members follow a Twelve Step way of living. We need to find those people. This is really true when it comes to finding a sponsor.

Look for a sponsor who gets good things from the program. Why pick a sponsor who isn't happy in the program? Recovery is hard work. You deserve the best. Find the best sponsor you can. Remember, ours is a selfish program. We’re fighting for our lives.
Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me find the best in my program. Help me find a good sponsor, so we can get as much from each other and this program as we can.
Action for the Day

Today I’ll think about what it means to have a good sponsor.

Today's reading is from the book Keep it Simple: Daily Meditations for Twelve Step Beginnings and Renewal*
