Strengthen Courage American novelist Ernest Hemingway wrote, “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places.” When you admit your powerlessness and accept that which cannot be changed, you step out of the way. You let your Higher Power heal the old wounds that, prior to entering recovery, threatened to maim you permanently. You pray for courage to change and improve each and every day, and step by step, you grow stronger than you’ve ever been. The first year of recovery is scary business because you don’t know what to expect. You may worry about your health, your relationships, your finances, your job, and a host of other things. But being in recovery is about having faith that things will work out, and with faith comes courage—the courage to change, the courage to heal. Action for the Day Make a list of some ways you find the courage to face each new day. In what ways are you replacing old fears and worries with a new idea of courage? Thought for the Day “FAITH = Fear Ain’t In This House” Big Book Read about replacing fear and uncertainty with courage and acceptance on page 266 of the Big Book.
