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.

I once heard an old timer say, "It's great to have many years sober, but recovery is really about quality, not quantity." This really made me stop and think about what constitutes quality recovery. When we see someone who has the kind of recovery we want, what are the aspects of how that person lives life that makes their recovery attractive to us? I would love to hear what the rest of you think.

Happy Friday everyone. Be safe. Be sober and enjoy the weekend.

We are loved and our lives have meaning today. We do remarkable things with our lives— sometimes by accomplishing big goals, and sometimes simply by being ourselves. A member complained to her sponsor that as a homemaker she felt she wasn’t really doing enough with her life or her time, that maybe she should have done something more important. Her sponsor smiled. “Are you kidding? By breaking the cycle of addiction in your family, you’re changing history!” Our greatest achievements may not be the things anyone else ever knows about: The simple fact that we survive our own stories is monumental. That we go on to help others and live lives we can be proud of is beyond our wildest dreams. Whatever we do, we make a difference in the world because we are clean. -LC🔷

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.

300 days clean and sober today. When I first decided to get clean I didn't think this day was possible. My whole life has changed for the better. There has been many emotions I had to deal with SOBER that has been hard but needed to happen. It feels great to mend bonds with family and friends and to have the support I need to keep going. Remember it's not about the long term goal just focus on the goals for today and that is to stay sober. Anything is possible!

One day you will tell your story of how you've overcome what you are going through now and it will become part of someone else's survival guide.

Long time since ive been on here... Well to state the obvious yes i did relapse... So i am truthfully reconsidering getting back into stepworks .

Well I'm going to a MTG tonight. I'm meeting with my sponsor for first time since my relapse tomorrow at the noon MTG. I just hate to put the fear in my family. Anxiety is absolutely not good for my sweet mother . But looking at it LOGICALLY, if I fail to enhance my spirituality I will be gone again, not even anwsering my phone when they call, not being available to do ANYTHING at all for or w them . So weighing out the pros and cons , the solution is quite obvious. Mom always says to listen to my gut so...thanks Momma and thank you Jesus for good orderly direction. Peace family.

Well I'm sober around my daughter and neice it's my neices second bday party it pays off to be sober

I agree I have been clean for. 114 days clean now. I Thank God for keeping me that way because I can not do this on my own. We need each other to help a long way
