I am bent but not broken. I am scarred but not disfigured. I am sad but not hopeless. I am tired but not powerless. I am angry but not bitter. I am depressed, but not giving up.” — Anonymous

It’s essential to remember that addiction is a severe illness and not a reflection of someone’s character or strength. Showing your loved one compassion and support is crucial, but it’s also essential to prioritize your well-being and…

Mental Health 2023
In 2023, mental health is expected to become an increasingly important topic of discussion. As people continue to face stress and anxiety daily, it’s necessary to prioritize mental health just as much as physical health.
One of the critical trends in mental health for 2023 is the focus on personalized care. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, mental health professionals will increasingly tailor treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each individual. This may involve a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes.
Another trend in mental health for 2023 is using technology to improve access to care. For example, Teletherapy is becoming increasingly popular, allowing patients to meet with mental health professionals remotely. Additionally, several apps and online resources are available to help individuals manage their mental health independently.
Overall, the future of mental health looks promising as we continue to prioritize our physical and mental well-being. Remember, it’s okay to seek help and prioritize your mental health.

TRUE TOLERANCE
May 29
The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 139
I first heard the short form of the Third Tradition in the Preamble. When I came to A.A. I could not accept myself, my alcoholism, or a Higher Power. If there had been any physical, mental, moral, or religious requirements for membership, I would be dead today. Bill W. said in his tape on the Traditions that the Third Tradition is a charter for individual freedom. The most impressive thing to me was the feeling of acceptance from members who were practicing the Third Tradition by tolerating and accepting me. I feel acceptance is love and love is God’s will for us.

“We believe that our Higher Power will take care of us.“
Basic Text, p. 58
We all have times when it seems as though our lives are falling apart. There are days, or even weeks, when it seems that everything that can go wrong is going wrong. Whether it’s the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or the end of a relationship, we doubt that we’ll survive the changes taking place in our lives.
It’s during the times when the world is crashing down around our ears that we find our greatest faith in a loving Higher Power. No human being could relieve our suffering; we know that only God’s care can provide the comfort we seek. We feel broken but we go on, knowing that our lives will be repaired.
As we progress in our recovery and our faith in our Higher Power grows, we are sure to greet the difficult times with a sense of hope, despite the pain we may be in. We need not despair, for we know that our Higher Power’s care will carry us through when we can’t walk on our own.
Just for Today: I will rely on God’s care through the painful times, knowing that my Higher Power will always be there.
