Recovery Zodiacs

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)
Exercise, eating nutritious foods, and proper rest are essential to health and well-being. Can you improve in these areas in your life?

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
Have you visited Step 10 lately? Is it time for a "personal inventory?" Are you able to admit when you are wrong?

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)
The Big Book tells us that "our troubles are basically of our own making." Is selfishness ruling your life today?

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)
Have you thoroughly examined your relapse triggers? Review your relapse prevention plan and make the necessary changes if need be.

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)
Is there anyone with whom you still need to make amends? Have you made amends with yourself? Take some time to review Steps 8 and 9.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22)
Just for today…one day at a time. Do you live in the past, the future, or the present?

Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22)
People, places, and things…Come on out and join a Friends Connection activity. Meet new people, go new places, try new things!

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Feeling like you don't belong? Get involved in your community. Volunteer, visit a neighbor, or lend a helping hand.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 22)
Take the time to look at all the things in your life that you do well. Make a list. Congratulate yourself!

Capricorn (Dec 23-Jan 1)
Your thoughts and your feelings are important. Take the time to listen to yourself. Keep a daily journal and express yourself through writing.

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)
Look at yourself in the mirror every day and say, "I am good, I am important, I am worthwhile!" Believe in yourself!

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Live each day to the fullest, live each moment with zest, spread your joy with others!
