Know in your heart that all things are possible. We couldn't conceive of a miracle if none had ever happened. - Libbie Fudim People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the
world is also a confession of character. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson “The simple word ‘we’ stands at the entrance to the Steps, reminding me that my power is limited.” ~ West Henrietta, New York, July 2007 The best index to people's character is (a) how they treat people who can't do them any good, and (b) how they treat people who can't fight back. |

Big Book
Quote Outline the program of action, explaining how you made a
self-appraisal, how you straightened out your past and why you are now
endeavoring to be helpful to him. It is important for him to realize that
your attempt to pass this on to him plays a vital part in your own recovery.
Actually, he may be helping you more than you are helping him. Make it plain
he is under no obligation to you, that you hope only that he will try to help
other alcoholics when he escapes his own difficulties. P94 |

12&12 Step Six - "Were entirely ready to have God remove all
these defects of character." |
|
Twenty-Four Hours A.A. Thought For The Day To avoid these divisive things, we must realize that we're
all in the same boat. We're like a group of people in a life-boat after the
steamer has sunk. If we're going to be saved, we've got to pull together. It's a matter of life or death for us. Gossip and criticism are sure ways of disrupting any A.A.
group. We're all in A.A. to keep sober ourselves and to help each
other to keep sober. And neither gossip nor criticism helps anyone to stay
sober. Am I guilty of gossip or criticism? we do not deserve. Gratitude to God for all His blessings
will make us humble. Remember that we could do little by ourselves, and now we
must rely largely on God's grace in helping ourselves and others. People do not care much for those who are smug and self-satisfied or those who gossip and criticize. But people are impressed by true humility. So we should try to walk humbly at all times. Gratitude to God and true humility are what make us
effective. I pray that I may rely on His grace to carry me through

Daily
Reflection GRATEFUL
FOR WHAT I HAVE During
this process of learning more about humility, the most
profound result of all was the change in our attitude toward
God. TWELVE STEPS
AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 75 Today my
prayers consist mostly of saying thank you to my Higher
Power for my sobriety and for the wonder of God's
abundance, but I need to ask also for help and the power to
carry out His will for me. I no longer need God each minute
to rescue me from the situations I get myself into by not
doing His will. Now my gratitude seems to be directly
linked to humility. As long as I have the humility to be
grateful for what I have, God continues to provide for me. |

Pot Luck Each Day a New Beginning Praise and an attitude of gratitude
are unbeatable stimulators … we increase whatever we extol. —Sylvia Stitt Edwards What outlook are we carrying forth
into the day ahead? Are we feeling fearful about the circumstances
confronting us? Do we dread a planned meeting? Are we worried about the
welfare of a friend or lover? Whatever our present outlook, its
power over the outcome of our day is profound. Our attitude in regard to any
situation attracting our attention influences the outcome. Sometimes to our
favor, often to our disfavor if our attitude is negative. Thankfulness toward life guarantees
the rewards we desire, the rewards we seek too often from an ungrateful
stance. The feeling of gratitude is foreign to many of us. We came to this
program feeling worthless, sometimes rejected, frequently depressed. It
seemed life had heaped problems in our laps, and so it had. The more we
lamented what life “gave us,” the more reasons we were given to lament. We
got just what we expected. We still get just what we expect. The difference is that the program
has offered us the key to higher expectations. Gratitude for the good in our
lives increases the good. I have the personal power to
influence my day; I will make it a good one.
