I is for Insecurity. Feed yourself affirmations. Remember we didn't get here overnight and we don't get better overnight. I am a work in progress. My God has me under His wing and safeguarding me against my own mistakes.

J is for Just for Today. All I have is today. One day's thoughts, actions, experiences, etc. Just this 24 hours. A day can start any time. I can stop any time during the day, pause and say the Serenity Prayer and start the day over again.

K is for Kindle. Just because I like the sound of the word. For me it means nurture and give some tender loving care to the people, places, and things you love. Like a family member, a plant, your bed. Tell your loved one that you love them, spruce them up a little bit and buy them a gift to say, I care.

L is for Love. When we come from the heart, we know we are doing our God's Will. When we care for one another, we make this world a better place.

M is for Moments. Cherish them as they arrive. They are too fleeting, so we need to gather them up to make a good day.

N is for Number. What number are you. Take the age of your birthday, add it up and see what you get. April 1, 1942 - 4 + 1 + 1 +9 + 4 + 2 = 21 = 2 + 1 = 3. A little lesson on numerology, it says you may be seen as: expressive, talkative, friendly, sociable and popular. You have strong willpower and sense of determination. Many see you as having no worries or concerns. Not true! I have a son in active addiction, I just put him in his God's Hands. Taken from Numerology Made Easy by W. Mykian

O is for Options. We do have options. For me, when I came into recovery, relapse was not an option. For me to use was to die, so I have tried to make healthy choices. I chose recovery and for one day at at time, I have stayed clean and sober.

P is for Prayer. Without out the Serenity Prayer, I don't think I would be sober in today.

Prayer goes a long way in fixing what ever we perceive to be wrong with us and the world at large. Meditation is listening for the answers. They go together. If you want your God's Help, you need to listen for His Good Orderly Direction.

Q is for Quell. Quell the fear within. Let it go and replace it with faith that the program will work for you. It has helped others, it will work for you if you work it. Quell the if only's and what if's and trust in the process.

R is for Rapid. There is no race to run, but I found that when I had enough, using was no an option for me. I learned there was no race to run, and I didn't have beat any or compare myself to others, it was real freedom. I wanted more, I had a real thirst. For the first two years, I went to 2, sometimes 3 meetings a day. I felt if I missed a meeting, I would relapse. The butterfly stands for transformation. The person that was is no more in today.

S is for Serenity.

We say the Serenity Prayer at every AA meeting. Early in my sobriety, I recited the Serenity Prayer many times a day. It is still an important prayer for me today 7 plus years later.

God grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change.
Courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

T is for Trust. Learn to trust yourself and others, through trusting the program and the God of your understanding. Even is you don't understand God, keep trying, He will reveal Himself to you.

U is for Understanding. The program says "The God of our understanding. Not the understanding of your church, your parents, your best friend, your sponsor, you partner, and you clergyman. It is your understanding of your God. My God is as He reveals Himself to me in today.

V is for Vow. I make a vow to stay clean and sober each day. I vow to make healthy choices, doing what is best for my Higher Good, to the best of my ability.
