Your
Daily Reprieve for Thursday April 18, 2024 From Waynesville, NC |
"Have courage for the
great sorrows of life and patience for the small
ones; and when you have
laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God
is awake." "The first recipe for
happiness is: Avoid too lengthy
meditations on the past." —André Maurois "Write it on your
heart that every day is the best day of the
year." Our wisdom comes from our
experience, and our experience comes
from our foolishness. |
Big Book Quote As God's people we
stand on our feet; we don't crawl before
anyone. P83 |

Daily Reflection SELF-HONESTY The deception of others is
nearly always rooted in the deception of ourselves. . .
. When we are honest with another person, it confirms
that we have been honest with ourselves and with God. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 17 When I was drinking, I
deceived myself about reality, rewriting it to what I
wanted it to be. Deceiving others is a character defect—even if it
is just stretching the truth a bit or cleaning up my motives
so others would think well of me. My Higher Power can
remove this character defect, but first I have to help myself
become willing to receive that help by not practicing
deception. I need to remember each day that deceiving myself
about myself is setting myself up for failure or
disappointment in life and in Alcoholics Anonymous. A close, honest
relationship with a Higher Power is the only solid
foundation I've found for honesty with self and with others. |
Pot Luck "If
everything else fails, try not drinking." I tried countless things to make my
life better before recovery. There was the gym phase. My buddy and I joined a
gym and vowed to get healthy. I even started jogging. Then there was the
healthy diet phase. I stopped eating junk food and instead drank protein
shakes with raw eggs. I even fasted on Sundays. Then there was the meditation
phase. I started attending ashrams and bought some tapes on meditation. I
even got a special meditation timer. Nothing worked, though. After each
phase, my drinking and my life got worse.
