AA 'Big Book' - Quote "Neither could we reduce our self-centeredness much by wishing or trying on our own power. We had to have God's help." Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, How It Works, pg. 62 Hour To Hour - Book - Quote When our muscles tighten, we get tense, headachy; when we sweat, feel like screaming, this is withdrawal; it is not fun. But in order to recover, the poisons must leave our body. We stay close to the Fellowship and ask God to help. Please help me one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time if need be. Patience with Myself Today, I will be patient with myself. When I do not do as well as I wish I would, I will not make that a reason to get down on myself. I will instead recognize that the fastest way to bring myself out of a painful funk is through understanding and being good to myself. I needn’t get caught in my own cycle of shame, resentment and blame. If a child is upset, I comfort the child because I understand that is what will makes things better. I give myself the same comfort that I would extend to a hurt child knowing that it will help me have the strength to forgive and move on - Tian Dayton PhD Pocket Sponsor - Book - Quote Often the shadow of addiction falls across out good intentions. It is so hard to stay sober and clean at times. This is not a picnic for us. When it gets unbearable, ASK FOR HELP from a recovering fellow addict, your counselor, your pastor or your group. The Divine gently nudges me to ask for help, as I need it. "Walk Softly and Carry a Big Book" - Book Don’t tell your Higher Power how big the problem is; tell the problem how big your Higher Power is. Time for Joy - Book - Quote I am exactly where I am supposed to be today. Everything about this day, this place, this moment is perfect. Everything about me is perfect in this moment. Alkiespeak - Book - Quote Worrying is like being in a rocking chair; it gives me something to do but it doesn’t get me anywhere. – Anon. |
