Your
Daily Reprieve for Wednesday April 24, 2024 From Waynesville, NC |
"Sometimes the one
thing you need for growth is the one thing you are
afraid to do." ~Shannon L. Alder "The soul always knows
what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence
the mind." ~Caroline Myss Your obsessive compulsive
mind is not your friend, if it was, it would stop
when you asked it. ~Heard at a Meeting Years teach us more than books.
“AA is a caring community
... of people who understand how others can be trapped
in deep loneliness and despair.” ~Grapevine:Toledo, Ohio,
May 2001 |
Big Book Quote On awakening let us
think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day.
Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it
be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. P86 |

Daily Reflection LEARNING TO LOVE
OURSELVES Alcoholism was a lonely
business, even though we were surrounded by people who
loved us . . . We were trying to find emotional security
either by dominating or by being dependent upon others . . .
We still vainly tried to be secure by some unhealthy sort of
domination or dependence. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 252 When I did my personal
inventory I found that I had unhealthy relationships
with most people in my life—my friends and family, for
example. I always felt isolated and lonely. I drank to dull
emotional pain. It was through staying
sober, having a good sponsor and working the Twelve Steps
that I was able to build up my low self-esteem. First the
Twelve Steps taught me to become my own best friend,
and then, when I was able to love myself, I could reach
out and love 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.
