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.

Merry Christmas fam.

@misty will u text me pleze

You didn't come this FAR, to only come this FAR"

Blessed everyday.

Hi everyone. I just did 16 months in a therapeutic community. I have been out for 4 months. I made it only one month before the needle took over again. Today is day 2 for me. I feel pretty good and am shocked that I am up and moving around. The thing I did different this time was to be honest w my support group aka family. I always tried to lie and hide it from them. I have a beautiful 11year old boy and thought it was best to hide my addiction. That all in all almost killed me. My family including my son knows the truth and I feel so light. I believe this is why I'm not 1/2 dead kicking herion in a bed all by myslef. Its shamfull and hard but we must do things different to expect different results. I hope this made scene. My brain is still a bit blurry. Well, a lot blurry. I look forward to doing some cources here and learning how to use this app. God bless u all. Dont stop fighting the fight. We are the strongest around!!

I have learned from the place that gave me another chance at life (stepworks of london ky) that if u dont ask u cant get help....I have found a sponsor and I'm very happy for that his name is Steve....the 30 days that I spent the showed me that there is a second chance that I can live a good life that I am a good person

@chadjones Guess you made it that's great man

Just got my 6 month key tag last week! Its not been easy but definitely worth it. Didn't think it was possible for me but just for today, it is. Thanks again to all the staff at stepworks! Forever grateful 20200310_215151
