      "When someone points out a shortcoming, our first reaction may be
              defensive.  There will always be room for growth."

                                                            Basic Text, p. 36

   Recovery is a process that brings about change in our lives.  We need that
   change if we are to continue our growth toward freedom.  It's important
   that we remain open-minded when others point out our shortcomings, for
   they are bringing to light opportunities for us to change and grow.
   Reacting defensively limits our ability to receive the help they are
   offering us; letting go of our defenses opens the door to change, growth,
   and new freedom.

   Each day in the recovery process will bring an opportunity for further
   change and growth.  The more we learn to greet change with an open mind
   and heart, the more we will grow and the more comfortable we will become
   with our recovery.

   Just for today:   I will greet each opportunity for growth with an open
   mind.
