H is for Hope. Don't give up. Never fear, your God is always near. Remember to say the Serenity Prayer.

H is for Honesty. I need to be honest with me, so I can be honest with you.

H is for Happy. I am responsible for my own happiness. Happiness comes from within.

I got asked in recovery, what makes you happy? I didn't know. When I think of it, it is kind of sad. I know in today, I like music, I like peace and quiet, and there is nothing like a good book, a page turner that doesn't want you to put the book down.

H is for His. His Love, His Forgiveness, His Care. His Direction, etc. all of a few things that my God bestows to me. I hope your God has gifted you the same Grace He has given me.

H is for His/Her Care. It is the God of your understanding. I often think of my God as a she, when I am in need of some tender loving care. He is my God who directs my path and I put my life into His Care.

Know that He/She Cares for you.

I is for Imagination. We will be amazed before we are half way through Step 9, we will uncover things that are beyond our imagination. The gifts from our God just keep on coming. You just don't know who our God will put in our path. I will never forget a Native Woman Elder, a pow wow, my sponsees although I don't sponsor anyone in today. Because of health issues, I feel like I can't always be there for them. Yet I give out my phone number, because I am always open to having them call me.

H is for Happen. Nothing happens in God's World by mistake. We often figure that our wire were crossed or we aren't seeing the whole picture, but when that happens, we need to stop and connect with our God. I was told that if I doubted myself, I was doubting my God.

H is for Hi! It is always nice when someone stops by just to say "Hi" and not have an alternative motive to come calling. It gives me the warm fuzzies, even when a stranger goes by when I am waiting for the bus or Dart's Transportation and they say "Good Morning." I remember how it feels, so I try to pass it forward.

H is for Honesty

We are told to be rigorously honest from the very start. Honesty and consistency are key factors in recovery. H.O.W. (Honest, Open, & Willing) is one of my favorite AA slogans.

H is for Here. Here we are in the hear and now. Staying in the moment, living one day at a time. We are here as a result of decisions made. If I make healthy decisions, I will have good here and now's in the future.
