Commitment

Understanding is the key to right principles and attitudes, and right action is the key to good living.

There came a time in my program of recovery when the 3rd stanza of the serenity prayer – “the wisdom to know the difference” – became indelibly imprinted on my mind. From that time on, I had to face the ever present knowledge that my every action, word and thought was within, or outside, the principles of the program. I could no longer hide behind self-rationalization, nor behind the insanity of my disease. The only course open to me, if I was to attain a joyous life for myself (and subsequently for those I love), was one in which I imposed on myself an effort of commitment, discipline, and responsibility to my higher power, Jesus Christ.
