*May 28*

Taking a time-out will benefit everyone.

Sometimes we react too fast, whether it’s a big deal or just something small, and that knee-jerk response can totally throw us off. But when we take a second to pause and check in with that inner voice (or call it God’s guidance), we’re way more likely to respond in a way we won’t regret.

Someone has to be the one to step back when things start to get heated. Why not let it be us? We’ve got the tools now, thanks to this program, and walking away from drama isn’t weakness, it’s growth. Honestly, we were never going to win the argument anyway.

Disagreements happen. That’s normal, and even healthy.

We all bring different views to the table. What really matters is how we express those views. That’s what shows how far we’ve come. Realizing we can choose peace over conflict?

That’s a game-changer. It means we’re not stuck in old patterns. We can walk away. Stay grounded. Stay kind. And in doing so, we find something better than being “right”—we find peace.

…

Today’s Affirmation:

Today, I’ll choose calm over chaos. And that choice will feel really, really good.

A Life of My Own

Today’s thought of the day is inspired by A Life of My Own by Karen Casey,— a small but powerful book full of daily reflections, meditations, and prayers, offering practical spiritual guidance for living a clean, sober, and more grounded life.

Karen Casey is also the author of Each Day a New Beginning. With over 20 years of experience speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth, she has dedicated her life to helping others. Her own recovery journey began more than 30 years ago in Twelve-Step groups, and she’s deeply passionate about supporting others on the same path.
