Recovery Thought of the Day - April 26th

Good Morning CR Family!  Please see below for today's Recovery Thought of the Day:

Groundhog Day

As many of us have been confined to our homes as of late, I imagine that I lot of us are beginning to feel like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog Day. Seeing the same people everyday, looking at the same four walls everyday and so on... I know I have definitely felt like this at times over the course of the last month. 

Outside of the current crisis, it can also feel like Groundhog Day when it comes to our hurts, habits and hang-ups.  For years, I tried on my own power to kick my addiction, often times just trying harder to stop, reading another self help book, and so on.  It was like Groundhog Day, it was INSANITY.  The only way that I was able to break free from that ongoing cycle, was to stop trying on my own power and to tap into Gods' power.  The reality is, if I'm honest, is that I can still get caught in never ending Groundhog Day loops.  The difference is that I know how tools in my recovery that help me identify when I am spinning my wheels and help redirect my attention towards God.

What is causing you today to feel like it's Groundhog day?
