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

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.

Worrying is like being in a rocking chair; it gives me something to do but it doesn’t get me anywhere. – Anon.
