        "Dreams that we gave up long ago can now become realities."

   All things begin with a dream.  But how many of us fulfilled our dreams
   while using?  Even if we managed to complete something we had started, our
   addiction usually robbed us of any pride in our accomplishment.   Perhaps
   when we used, we dreamed of the day when we would be clean.  That day has
   come.  We can use this day to make our dreams come true.

   To fulfill our dreams we must take action, but our lack of self-confidence
   may keep us from trying.   We can begin by setting realistic goals.   The
   success we experience when we attain our initial goals allows us to dream
   bigger dreams the next time around.

   Some of our members share that when they compare the ambitions they had
   when they first got clean with what they have actually achieved in
   recovery, they are astounded.  In recovery, we often find more dreams come
   true than we could ever have imagined.

                           ----=----

   Just for today:   I will remember that all things begin with a dream.
   Today, I will allow myself to make my dreams come true.
