"You will face
many defeats in life, but never let yourself
be defeated." ~Maya Angelou “Good public relations are AA lifelines reaching out to the alcoholic who still does not know
us.” ~AA Co-Founder, Bill W., October 1948 There is great happiness in not wanting, in not being something, in not going somewhere. “Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.” ― Guillaume Apollinaire |

Big Book
Quote The reader may
still ask why he should believe in a Power greater than himself. We think
there are good reasons. Let us have a look at some of them. P48 |

12&12 Step Twelve -
"Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried
to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all
our affairs." |
|
Twenty-Four Hours A.A. Thought For The Day
|
|
Daily Thought ^*^*^*^*^ "Somehow, being alone with God
doesn't seem so embarrassing as facing up to another person. Until we
actually sit down and talk aloud about what we have so long hidden, our
willingness to clean house is still largely theoretical. When we are honest
with another person, it confirms that we have been honest with ourselves and
with God."
|
|
DAILY
REFLECTIONS INTO
ACTION A. A. is
more than a set of principles; it is a society of alcoholics
in action. We must carry the message, else we ourselves
can wither and those who haven't been given the truth may
die. AS BILL SEES
IT, p. 13 I desperately
wanted to live, but if I was to succeed, I had to become active
in our God-given program. I joined what became my
group, where I opened the hall, made coffee, and cleaned
up. I had been sober about three months when an oldtimer
told me I was doing Twelfth-Step work. What a satisfying
realization that was! I felt I was really accomplishing
something. God had given me a second chance, A.A.
had shown me the way, and these gifts were not only
free—they were also priceless! Now the joy of seeing
newcomers grow reminds me of where I have come from, where I
am now, and the limitless possibilities that he ahead. I need
to attend meetings because they recharge my batteries so
that I have light when it's needed. I'm still a beginner in
service work, but already I am receiving more than I'm
giving. I can't keep it unless I give it away. I am responsible
when another reaches out for help. I want to be there—sober. |

POT LUCK "To
be grateful for the good things that happen in our lives is easy, but to be
grateful for all of our lives-the good as well as the bad, the moments of joy
as well as the moments of sorrow, the successes as well as the failures, the
rewards as well as the rejections-that requires hard spiritual work. Still we
are only truly grateful people when we say thank you to all that has brought
us to the present moment. As long as we keep dividing our lives between
events and people we would like to remember and those we would rather forget,
we cannot claim the fullness of our beings as a gift of God to be grateful
for. Let us not be afraid to look at everything that has brought us to where
we are now and trust that we will soon see in it the guiding hand of a loving
God." Don't tell me where your priorities are. Show me where
you spend your money and I'll tell you what they are. |
