2) Isolation is like a tomb — Ian Kennedy Martin
The end road of addiction is isolation. As our illness surrounded our hearts and souls, we list the ability to connect with others.
We may be scared at times because we don’t know where the Steps will lead but they are the way out. We need to follow them, to keep walking until we see the light of our Higher Power. We need never be trapped in the tomb of isolation again.
Grapevine Daily Quote
3) “My daily life is conducted in a manner that is far different from my drinking days. The places I go, the things I do, and the people I am with are a reflection of my spiritual progress. My life is conducted with the knowledge that God is always at my side and guides me through the day. For that, at the end of each day, I say, ‘Thank You.’”
