When we issue the revised edition of “Recovery Continues,” I suggest “Recovery Continues Continuing.”

Dear God,

So far today I’ve done all right. I’ve kept my mouth shut, I haven’t gossiped, haven’t lost my temper, haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over-indulgent. I’m really glad about that. But, in a few minutes, God, I’m going to get out of bed. From then on I will need a lot more help. Amen.

God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones that I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
