“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God” (James 1:4).
God uses people to help people. And much of the wisdom we learn, we learn from others. So let me give you the benefit of some great wisdom. These are just a few of the nuggets I have picked up through years of recovery. May they help you today!
- A lone sheep is a dead sheep.
- If you get sober for someone else, it won’t last.
- The only guarantee of failure is to quit trying.
- What you tolerate today will dominate tomorrow.
- What you think today, you’ll do tomorrow.
