Reprieve for Thursday September 26, 2024 From Waynesville, NC |
Life is not mean, it is
grand; i f it is mean to any, he or
she makes it so. God made it glorious. It is paved with diamonds; its banks He fringed with flowers. He overarched it with
stars. Around it He spread the
glory of the physical universe —suns, moon, worlds,
constellations, systems— all that is magnificent in
motion, sublime in magnitude, and grand in order and
obedience. God would not have attended
life with this broad march of grandeur if it did not mean
something. -Orison Swett Marden "A highly developed
value system is like a compass. It serves as a guide to
point you in the right direction when you are lost" ~Idowu Koyenican " Regardless of what
you lose or the challenges you face, you will never lose the
power to make decisions" ~Jacinta Mpalyenkana “I am learning how to cope
with life, people, and situations, not
as I want them to be, but as they really are.” ~Millburn, New Jersey, July
1971 One day you will understand
why, and you will thank
God for it. |

Daily Reflection OUR CHILDREN The alcoholic may find it hard to re-establish friendly relations with his children. . . . In time they will see that he is a new man and in their own way they will let him know it. . . . From that point on, progress will be rapid. Marvelous results often follow such a reunion. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 134 While on the road to recovery I received a gift that could not be purchased. It was a card from my son in college, saying, "Dad, you can't imagine how glad I am that everything is okay. Happy Birthday, I love you." My son had told me that he loved me before. It had been during the previous Christmas holidays, when he had said to me, while crying, "Dad, I love you! Can't you see what you're doing to yourself?" I couldn't. Choked with emotion, I had cried, but this time, when I received my son's card, my tears were tears of joy, not desperation. |
Pot Luck "Discomfort is required for change." I don’t like to be uncomfortable, and for a long time I
drank a lot to avoid feeling that way. When I had stress at work, I’d drink
as soon as I got off. When relationships got complicated, I drank before,
during, and after interactions. After a while, my solution—drinking—made my
life unmanageable, so I drank even more. Finally, when I was forced to admit
my solution was no longer working, I grew so unhappy that I was willing to
change. And that’s when I entered recovery.
