“What’s right is what’s left when you do everything else wrong.” –Robin Williams

Addicts do a lot of things wrong.  If we go through the process of identifying all of the wrong things ourselves, finding what is right will involve significant suffering on our part and those close to us.  Fortunately, there are many who have walked the path before us.  The collective wisdom of others in our program can show us all the wrong things and guide us toward what is right.

When have I done things wrong?  Did I ignore others who were guiding me in a different direction?  What gifts await me as I trust others in the program who have already learned from doing everything else wrong?
