24 Hours A Day May 6 AA Thought for the Day I’ve noticed that the ones who do the most for AA are not in the habit of boasting about it. The danger of building myself up too much is that, if I do, I’m in danger of having a fall. That pattern of thought goes with drinking. If one side of a boat gets too far up out of the water, it’s liable to tip over. Building myself up and drinking go together. One leads to the other. So if I’m going to stay sober, I’ve got to keep small. Have I got the right perspective on myself? Meditation for the Day The way sometimes seems long and weary. So many people today are weary. The weariness of others must often be shared by me. The weary and the heavy-laden, when they come to me, should be helped to find the rest that I have found. There is only one sure cure for world-weariness and that is turning to spiritual things. In order to help bring about the turning of the weary world to God, I must dare to suffer, dare to conquer selfishness in myself, and dare to be filled with spiritual peace in the face of all the weariness of the world. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may be a help to discouraged people. I pray that I may have the courage to help bring about what the weary world needs but does not know how to get.

Hope everyone is doing well and had a Happy Mother's Day yesterday!

20 months sober as of January 27th. It works if you work it! All you gotta do is do a little work! God, sponsor, meetings, and work the steps.

To all the ladies for women’s history month

Wednesday, March 17 Thought for the Day A.A. also helps us to hang onto sobriety. By having regular meetings so that we can associate with other alcoholics who have come through that same door in the wall, by encouraging us to tell the story of our own sad experiences with alcohol, and by showing us how to help other alcoholics, A.A. keeps us sober. Our attitude toward life changes from one of pride and selfishness to one of humility and gratitude. Am I going to step back through that door in the wall to my old helpless, hopeless, drunken life? Meditation for the Day Withdraw into the calm of communion with God. Rest in that calm and peace. When the soul finds its home of rest in God, then it is that real life begins. Only when you are calm and serene can you do good work. Emotional upsets make you useless. The eternal life is calmness and when you enter into that, then you live as an eternal being. Calmness is based on complete trust in God. Nothing in this world can separate you from the love of God. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may wear the world like a loose garment. I pray that I may keep serene at the center of my being.

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Blessed everyday.

@chase, congratulations on your 1 YEAR of continuous sobriety! You are a true inspiration that this program works when you work it and I am honored to call you one of my closest friends! Happy Birthday 🎂 AA and Happy Birthday 🎂 @chase!! Now go out and help somebody!!

@chrism Hello! Thank you for reaching out. I wasn’t sure how to wiggle myself into the groove out here. I’m not even sure of the appropriate questions to ask. All I can be is me. I’m learning how to forgive myself, even like myself as I’m a recovering alcoholic. I feel so much guilt all the time, but I know that God loves me, and He didn’t send His son to die for us just to be walking around and not enjoying our lives. It’s difficult at times because now I have liver cirrhosis. What’s your story (if you feel comfortable sharing)?

What's good stepworks family..hope all is well sitting listening to a little music this morning.get the day moving.i have 38 days sober with no mind-altering chemicals in my body. Blessed is he who follows the footsteps of the lord.that might not be everyone else's thing.but it is mine. I've been having my ups and downs the past couple days and I've been through a lot of trials and tribulations the past 11 months a whole hell of a lot. But I can honestly say just for today I want to remain clean.

Dope stole evergthing from me, my will to live, my vibrant smile, my prerson. I used to be able to walk into a room and be able to light up the room, now when I walk in i see judgement and sorrow as if everyone feels sorry for me. I used to be so happy and now I couldnt tell you the last time i laughed because i "wanted" to. The facade that over powers my soul and mind is real, the emotionless acts of my everyday life is real i almost shot and killed someone about a month ago before during and after that bullitt left my .380 I still felt no different than before it all happened no guilt, shame, accomplishment, nothen. I want my life back i want me back and my daughter i want my family. My life has been ruled by dope and i want it BACK!!
