Z is for Zip. I you don't put anything into your recovery. "Zip!" Nadda, Nothing. If you zip your lip, you will hear what you need in order to recover in the meetings of the fellowship of your choice.

Z is for Zebra. They don't have black and white stripes on prison clothes these days, they are a bright orange; but they do have black and white vehicles that will take you in for drunk driving, stealing, fighting, and other offenses as a result of drinking and doing drugs.

Everything is not either or, black or white, there are shades of gray. Look out for some of those gray areas, they can keep you blanketed in denial or you can be willing to agree to disagree.

Z is for Zoo. A dysfunctional family can be like a zoo. Everyone looking for attention. Everyone trying to out do and out noise the other one.

Everyone loses their own identity, and forget where they come from and have no concept of who they are and where they are going and lose all purpose in life.

Z is for Zest. Where is your zest for living. You have been given a second chance at life, give thanks. Put some zip in your step. When people look at you, do they see recovery?
