Your
Daily Reprieve for Wednesday March 27,
2024 From Waynesville, NC |
"Seven days without a
meeting makes one weak." --unknown I can feel guilty about the
past, apprehensive about the
future, but only in the present can
I act. The ability to be in the
present moment is a major component of
mental wellness. “One of the illusions of
life is that the present hour is not the
critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that
every day is the best day in the
year. No man has learned anything
rightly, until he knows that every
day is Doomsday.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson Words are powerful tools. Use them to help and not
hurt. --Cited in BITS &
PIECES |
Big Book Quote We found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and
express even a willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we
commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for any of us to
fully define or comprehend that Power, which is God. P46 |

12&12 Foreword |
Twenty-Four
Hours A.A. Thought For The Day
|
Daily Thought ^*^*^*^*^
|
Daily Reflection A.A.'s FREEDOMS We trust that we already
know what our several freedoms truly are; that no future
generation of AAs will ever feel compelled to limit them.
Our AA freedoms create the soil in which genuine love can
grow. . . . LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, p.
303 I craved freedom. First,
freedom to drink; later, freedom from drink. The A.A.
program of recovery rests on a foundation of free
choice. There are no mandates, laws or commandments. A.A.'s
spiritual program, as outlined in the Twelve Steps, and by
which I am offered even greater freedoms, is only
suggested. I can take it or leave it. Sponsorship is offered,
not forced, and I come and go as I will. It is these and
other freedoms that allow me to recapture the dignity that was
crushed by the burden of drink, and which is so dearly
needed to support an enduring sobriety. |
Pot Luck Caretaking In meetings we hear,
“Don’t care FOR, care ABOUT”. When we care for someone we let that
person be the focus of our lives. We take over the decisions and the
responsibilities for that person. We can bond a lot better with someone a lot
better than with their needs. When we care about someone, we are
concerned about their journey. We nurture, encourage, and support them on
their way. Many of us had to
learn to give up the role of playing caretaker with people. We had been a one
person Humane Society, moving from place to place, picking up stray dogs and
cats. We are told that caretaking is an inappropriate response to our need to
be accepted. Whatever reason we
play the role, it is not helpful to continue to play the role in recovery. We
need to let people care for their own needs. Everyone should have the
opportunity to love themselves. I’ve learned that
caring FOR someone will probably cause the relationship to fail. Caring ABOUT
someone will allow the relationship and the person to succeed. Stephen Beal, Editor Stepping Stones to
Recovery for Men
