“It is very difficult to
steer a parked car and make much progress
toward any destination ... In short, I had to be going
somewhere before I could be guided.” ~Grapevine: Rochester, NY,
October 1979 We can do anything for one
day. So, just for today, let us
be unafraid of life, unafraid of death which is
the shadow of life; unafraid to be happy, to
enjoy the beautiful, to believe the best. . . . Just for today, let us be
agreeable, responsive, cheerful, charitable; be our best , dress our
best, walk softly, praise people for what they
do, n ot criticize them for what
they cannot do. And if we find fault, let
us forgive and forget it. -Joseph Fort Newton Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of
happiness and just be
happy. -unattributed Life is tension. Without tension, there
could be no life. Too little tension or too
much tension interferes with the process
of life in the same way a string of
a guitar interferes with the melody when it is
either too loose or too tight. |

Big Book Quote "Some drinkers
have excuses with which they are satisfied part of the time. But in their
hearts they really do not know why they do it. Once this malady has a real
hold, they are a baffled lot. There is the obsession that somehow, someday,
they will beat the game. But they often suspect they are down for the
count." |

Daily Reflection . . . TO BE OF SERVICE Our real purpose is to fit
ourselves to be of maximum service to God and the
people about us. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 77 It is clear that God's plan
for me is expressed through love. God loved me enough to take
me from alleys and jails so that I could be made a
useful participant in His world. My response is to love all of
His children through service and by example. I ask God to
help me imitate His love for me through my love for others. |

Pot Luck "The problem with
isolating is that you get such bad advice." By the end of my drinking, I
was all alone. Unlike some of the stories I hear about people drinking in
bars, I preferred to drink alone in my home. My friends were gone, my family
wasn’t inviting me over, and it was just me and my alcohol. After months of listening
to my own best thinking, I had run out of options and was at the end of my
rope. By some miracle, I was able to reach out for help, and my journey in
recovery began.
