Gentle Reminder

I got a gentle reminder from my Higher Power today. A person's success in recovery is not measured by another person's yard stick, but by the one they create for themselves. What may seem as a small step forward to others may be a huge leap of faith to them and we must learn to acknowledge that. Any steps forward are wonderful and that by just being human we sometimes take small steps backwards, it is what we do , but the fact that a person is in motion towards recovery is a wonderful and sometimes scary thing. One person's recovery can not be the measuring stick for another's recovery. So today I will go forward with love and hope that each person finds their own yard stick by which to measure recovery and not be held to someone else's standards.
