Life says yes to me now. ∼Iyanla Vanzant

Eventually life says “yes” to all who dedicate themselves to our way of life in Chemically Dependent Anonymous. When we began this program as newcomers, the old-timers had many wise anecdotes and bits of advice for us. One of the things they told us was to imagine how good our life could ever get. “Get clean and sober,” they told us, “and your life will get even better than what you just imagined.” That might have been good enough for us, but they continued, “Stay clean and sober and it will get a hundred times better than that! But, on the other hand,” the old-timer’s warned, “Imagine the very worst your life could be. Start drinking and drugging again and it will get worse than that and, before long, it will get even worse than that!” Whether life says “yes” to us now or “no” to us now is entirely based on our commitment to recovery.

My actions today define the increase

above anything I can imagine.

People who have more time in C.D.A. than I do say, "Keep coming back; it keeps getting better," but I can't imagine that my life will be any better than it is now.
