The why is not important; the fact is that one drink will set up a reaction in our system that requires more, that one drink is too much and a hundred drinks are not enough. - Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 355 Thought to Ponder . . .

Thoughts For The Day~*~ Daybreak "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." 1976AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 86 Thought to Consider . . . At first, I thought the "God thing" was a crutch. Turns out to be stilts. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* A S A P = Always Say A Prayer*~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Friendship and Respect From: "Another Chance" Since I have been in A.A., I have more friends than I ever had in my life - friends who care about me and my welfare, friends who don't care that I am black and that I have been in prison. All they care about is that I am a human being and that I want to stay sober. Since I've been home, I have been able to gain the respect of my two sons again. 2001, AAWS, Inc., Alcoholics Anonymous, page 534*~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "The alcoholic is in no greater peril than when he takes his sobriety for granted." AA Co-Founder, Bill W., November 1949 "A Suggestion for Thanksgiving" The Language of the Heart*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "...I humbly offered myself to God, as I then I understood Him, to do with me as He would. I placed myself unreservedly under His care and direction. I admitted for the first time that of myself I was nothing; that without Him I was lost. I ruthlessly faced my sins and became willing to have my new-found Friend take them away, root and branch." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Bill's Story, pg. 13~ "As each member of a resentful family begins to see his shortcomings and admits them to the others, he lays a basis for helpful discussion. These family talks will be constructive if they can be carried on without heated argument, self-pity, self-justification or resentful criticism." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 127~ "The feeling of having shared in a common peril is one element in the powerful cement which binds us." -Alcoholics Anonymous p. 17 (There is a Solution) "So why shouldn't we share our way of life with everyone?" -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 156 (Tradition Six)Misc. AA Literature - Quote We saw we needn't always be bludgeoned and beaten into humility. It could come quite as much from our voluntary reaching for it as it could from unremitting suffering. We first reach for a little humility, knowing that we shall perish of alcoholism if we do not. After a time, though we may still rebel somewhat, we commence to practice humility because this is the right thing to do. Then comes the day when, finally freed in large degree from rebellion, we practice humility because we deeply want it as a way of life.
