    "Our newly found faith serves as a firm foundation for courage in the
                                   future."

   The foundation of our lives is what the rest of our lives is built upon.
   When we were using, that foundation affected everything we did.  When we
   decided that recovery was important, that's where we began to put our
   energy.  As a result, our whole lives changed.  In order to maintain those
   new lives, we must maintain the foundation of those lives: our recovery
   program.

   As we stay clean and our lifestyles change, our priorities will also
   change.  Work and school may become important because they improve the
   quality of our lives.   And new relationships may bring excitement and
   mutual support.  But we need to remember that our recovery program is the
   foundation upon which our new lives are built.   Each day, we must renew
   our commitment to recovery, maintaining that as our top priority.

   Just for today:   I want to continue enjoying the life I've found in
   recovery.  Today, I will take steps to maintain my foundation.
