“Dr. Silkworth taught us how to till the black soil of hopelessness, out of which every single spiritual awakening in our fellowship has
since flowered. In December 1934 this man of science had sat humbly by my bed following my own sudden and overwhelming spiritual experience, reassuring me: ‘No, Bill,’ he had said, ‘you are not hallucinating. Whatever you have got, you had better hang on to; it is so much better
than what you had only an hour ago.’” ~AA Co-Founder, Bill W., August 1957 You can only see what you can't see when you can see it
... ~Chuck C. I will never be as well as I was sick. ~Gary M. Men Who Trudge “More than a million of us who suffer from
the disease of alcoholism have found not just the
ability to live with or survive this insidious disease, but a joyful way of
life as new as this morning and as old as mankind. We can gain sobriety,
aspire to serenity, at no greater price than caring for our
fellow sufferers and sharing with them what has been freely
given to us. We can experience the
true joy of love that we once tried to
destroy by not giving it away, and we can learn the
truth that the more we give
away, the more we will have.” ~Brick Town, New
Jersey, January 1977, |

DAILY
REFLECTIONS SUIT UP AND SHOW UP In A.A. we aim not only for sobriety—we try again to become citizens of the world that we rejected, and of the world that once rejected us. This is the ultimate demonstration toward which Twelfth Step work is the first but not the final step. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 21 The old line says, "Suit up and show up." That action
is so important that I like to think of it as my motto. I can choose each day to suit up and show up, or not. Showing up at meetings starts me toward feeling a part of that meeting, for then I can do what I say I'll do at meetings. I can talk with newcomers, and I can share my experience; that's what credibility, honesty, and courtesy really are. Suiting up and showing up are the concrete actions I take in my ongoing return to normal living. |

POT LUCK Walk in Dry Places Think, Think, Think Prudence. It's hard to believe, but some
AA members insist that newcomers shouldn't think. "Whoever said you
should think?" some members are told. The newcomer is apparently
supposed to suspend all thinking for several months until reaching a certain
level of recovery. This is nonsense, and it also
contradicts AA teaching. If we don't want people to use their heads,
why do we have printed cards on meeting room walls that say, "Think,
Think, Think"? We are always capable of thinking, even in moments
of deep despair. Indeed, we could not keep from thinking. A constructive approach to
thinking is to form complete sentences from the slogan on the wall:
THINK what might happen if I take one drink. THINK of the wonderful new
life that awaits me in sobriety. THINK about ways of improving myself
and following a more satisfactory lifestyle. It's also important to
remember that good thinking will drive out bad thinking…. But good thinking
has to be cultivated. I'll keep my thinking centered
today on the good things that can be done in life. I'll focus my
attention only on matters that are under my control, and I know that better
thinking will bring better conditions. |
