Excerpts

Below are three Daily Reminders excerpted from Sanity365: Daily Help for Sane Living. They are carefully designed to be short, quick to read, and easy to understand. The core concepts are easily understood and easily applied by anyone in the claws of addition. Each Daily Reminder - a full year's worth - also serves to offer family, friends, and work associates of addicts valuable insights into the thinking processes and mindsets and thus the actions and reactions of people addicted to anything.

 

February 5 Daily Reminder:

Think About It! When you were stoned and unhappy, did you blame your dealer? If you are straight and unhappy, should you blame your recovery program or God? Why do we sit in a negative state, waiting for a magic wand to change our life? Drugs didn't do it, so there is no magic wand! The magic wand happens when we start taking control of our own situation, start getting honest with ourselves, our friends, and God - whatever our understanding of God is! Until then, we will remain unhappy.

Trying is good! Doing is better!

How often did you get free dope? No, I mean, free dope! No price, no sexual favors, completely free! Oh yeah? Getting Happy Straight is not free either! It requires work by the person who wants to be Happy Straight!

February 14 Daily Reminder:

Think About It! To many of us, today is more than Valentine's Day! On this day in 1977, a drug recovery program called "Our House" was born! It was created for addicts by addicts! Five of us moved into an old rundown townhouse and tried with a lot of success to live a straight, happy, helping lifestyle! I lost track of the other four people over the years, but I think about them often and I wish them a happy anniversary, along with hundreds and hundreds of other former residents! How is your day - on your day? Are there five people out there with the same idea?

Trying is Good! Doing is Better!

If you know five people who want the experience of their life, get together and create it. The world needs answers, not problems!

May 28 Daily Reminder:

Think About It! Drugs allowed me to run away from myself for years, and then drugs finally forced me to stop and look at myself. Why was I running? What could I do to stop running? When would I stop running? Until I seriously asked myself these questions, I continued running. How about you? Is it time to ask the hard questions or is your life just great? I have to believe that if drugs were not a problem, you would not be reading these words right now. Right?

Trying is Good! Doing is Better!

I didn't let other people convince me I needed help. I convinced myself! I was lost.
