Rome was not built in a day Recovery takes time. As each day goes by we learn concepts and gain insights that will help us move on to the next stage or Step in recovery. When we move from active addiction into dual recovery we have decided to engage in a process of healing and growth. The simple slogan, First Things First, reminds us to set our priorities in an orderly way.

We cannot do everything at once and we need not feel overwhelmed or guilty for that. In every situation there is one thing that is more important, then one that is next in line and so on.

When we use Good Orderly Direction and put recovery first in our lives, we reduce stress and clear a path to progress.
