Unity

All your strength is in your union. All your danger is in discord.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

History is full of examples of how important unity in purpose and execution is in any act. Joining forces can create the triumph of good and the defeat of evil. “United we stand, divided we fall” has been a battle cry voiced by men and women from all nations and levels of society when they unite for a common cause.

Those in the program know from the very beginning of their recovery that building control over their addiction can never happen without the aid of others who have the same problems.

Early in our program of growth, we were told about our First Tradition, that our common welfare always comes first. Unless we recognize the fact that we need the help of other members, and are willing to go to any lengths to achieve success, we are headed for failure.

“One for all, and all for one” applies to my recovery. I can’t do it alone.

Today's reading is from the book Easy Does It, A Book of Daily Twelve Step Meditations
