Ties are made overnight that it would take years to develop elsewhere. No one needs a false front. All barriers are down. Some who have felt outcasts all their lives now know they really belong. From feeling as if they were dragging anchor through life, they suddenly sail free before the wind. For now they can be of tremendous and peculiar use to others having a dire need like their own. - The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 2], p. 259 Thought to Ponder . . .

Thoughts For The Day~*~ Prayer "As the doubter tries the process of prayer,he should begin to add up the results.If he persists, he will surely find more serenity,more tolerance, less fear, and less anger.He will acquire a quiet courage,the kind that isn't tension-ridden.He can look at 'failure' and 'success'for what these really are.Problems and calamity will begin to mean his instruction,instead of his destruction.Wonderful and unaccountable things will start to happen. "Bill W., Box 1980: The AA Grapevine, June 1958As Bill Sees It, p. 321 Thought to Consider . . . Trying to pray is praying. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* BS Before Sobriety *~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Self-Care >From "To Wives": "Be determined that your husband's [or other loved one's] drinking is not going to spoil your relations with your children or your friends. They need your companionship and your help. It is possible to have a full and useful life, though your husband continues to drink. We know women who are unafraid, even happy under these conditions. Do not set your heart on reforming your husband. You may be unable to do so, no matter how hard you try." 2001 AAWS, Inc., Fourth Edition; Alcoholics Anonymous, pg. 111 *~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "Surrender has nothing to do with giving up. It means to stop fighting." Carrollton, Texas, February 1993 "The Gift of Sobriety" AA Grapevine ~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self- pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, for after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, pg. 86~ "Though we work out our solution on the spiritual as well as an altruistic plane, we favor hospitalization for the alcoholic who is very jittery or befogged. More often than not, it is imperative that a man's brain be cleared before he is approached, as he has then a better chance of understanding and accepting what we have to offer." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Doctor's Opinion, pg. xxvi~ Therefore, thoroughness ought to be the watchword when taking inventory. -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 54 Misc. AA Literature - Quote Only God Is Unchanging 'Change is the characteristic of all growth. From drinking to sobriety, from dishonesty to honesty, from conflict to serenity, from hate to love, from childish dependence to adult responsibility - all this and infinitely more represent change for the better. 'Such changes are accomplished by a belief in and a practice of sound principles. Here we must needs discard bad or ineffective principles in favor of good ones that work. Even good principles can sometimes be displaced by the discovery of still better ones. 'Only God is unchanging; only He has all the truth there is. LETTER, 1966 Prayer For The Day: Loving Father, search me, and if there be any evil ways in me, correct them, and lead me into the ways everlasting. I pray that I may not be deformed from selfishness, but with a lowly and expectant heart run with patience and triumph the race that is set before me. Amen.
