Thoughts For The Day~*~ Vigilance "Now that we're in AA and sober, and winning back the esteem of our friends and business associates, we find that we still need to exercise special vigilance. As an insurance against 'big-shot-ism' we can often check ourselves by remembering that we are today sober only by the grace of God and that any success we may be having is far more His success than ours." 1952AAWS, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 92 Thought to Consider . . . The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing ... my sobriety. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* P U T  =  Patience, Understanding, Tolerance*~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~*   Change >From "A New Man": "But the real miracle was what happened to him in the next ten years. He began helping people. I mean helping! No call has been too hard, too inconvenient, too 'hopeless.' He founded the A.A. group in his town, and he is embarrassed if you mention this to others or comment on the amount of A.A. work he is doing. "He is not the same man I was trying to twelfth-step. I failed in all my efforts to help the man I knew. And then Someone else provided a new man. - Bernardsville, New Jersey, USA" 1973 AAWS, Inc.; Came to Believe, 30th printing 2004, pg. 15*~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "Our alcoholism is a sickness we no longer fear to discuss." AA Co-Founder, Bill W., January 1946 "A Tradition Born of Our Anonymity" The Language of the Heart*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~*   "Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends ,this is an experience you must not miss." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Working With Others, pg. 89~  "Much has already been said about receiving strength, inspiration, and direction from Him who has all knowledge and power. If we have carefully followed directions, we have begun to sense the flow of His Spirit into us. To some extent we have become God-conscious. We have begun to develop this vital sixth sense. But we must go further and that means more action." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, pg. 85~  "Offer him friendship and fellowship." -Alcoholics Anonymous p. 95 (Working With Others)   "The intense relief on my friend's face warmed my heart." -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 162 (Tradition Seven)Misc. AA Literature - Quote There are those in A.A. whom we call 'destructive' critics. They power-drive, they are 'politickers,' they make accusations to gain their ends - all for the good of A.A., of course! But we have learned that these folks need not be really destructive. We ought to listen carefully to what they say. Sometimes they are telling the whole truth; at other times, a little truth. If we are within their range, the whole truth, the half-truth, or no truth at all can prove equally unpleasant to us. If they have got the whole truth, or even a little truth, then we had better thank them and get on with our respective inventories, admitting we were wrong. If they are talking nonsense, we can ignore it, or else try to persuade them. Failing this, we can be sorry they are too sick to listen, and we can try to forget the whole business. There are few better means of self-survey and of developing patience than the workouts these usually well-meaning but erratic members so often afford us.  Prayer for the Day:  Higher Power, allow me to be friendly toward all those I meet today.Click here to make a DonationThis is not spam.
