AA 'Big Book' - Quote If you are as seriously alcoholic as we were, we believe there is no middle-of-the-road solution. We were in a position where life was becoming impossible, and if we had passed into the region from which there is no return through human aid, we had but two alternatives: One was to go on to the bitter end, blotting out the consciousness of our intolerable situation as best we could; and the other, to accept spiritual help. This we did because we honestly wanted to, and were willing to make the effort. - Pg. 25-26 - There Is A Solution Hour To Hour - Book - Quote In the beginning of recovery we usually don't like ourselves very well. Consequently, we usually don't like others too well either. But we can grant others this: the right to be human, the right to be wrong, and the right to be right! When people really bug me, let me let them be. Forgiveness I forgive myself for being less than perfect, that's how I will love myself and others today. Perfection is that myth that I carry around in my head to beat myself up with and to make it seem others fall short. That celluloid image against which I measure myself and come out feeling lacking, that yard stick with which I hit my own back side. Today, I will see perfection and beauty in what is. I will have an attitude of forgiveness toward myself and others for being other than what is expected. We're all just bumbling along mostly doing the best we can, sometimes worse than we should, sometimes better. Just for today, I won't get hung up on imperfection. I forgive imperfection - Tian Dayton PhD Pocket Sponsor - Book - Quote When we pray for strength, the Universe gives us difficulties to make us strong. When we pray for courage, the Universe gives us danger to overcome. When we pray for patience, the Universe gives us long lines and traffic jams. What are you praying for? I may ask for favors but the Universe gives me opportunities. "Walk Softly and Carry a Big Book" - Book If anyone speaks badly of you, live so no one will believe it. Time for Joy - Book - Quote Today my body guides me to refocus and God heals me deep within as I again become strong and free. Alkiespeak - Book - Quote On a good day things are OK and I don't drink. On a great day things are lousy and I don't drink. - Anon.
