Feel The Foundation

.

“Keep me away from

the wisdom which

does not cry,

the philosophy which

does not laugh,

and the greatness

which does not bow before children.”

.

~ Kahlil Gibran

.

The spiritual foundation of life is feelings.

As a drunk I cried at  parties and joyous events,

I laughed during funerals and at serious occasions.

Alcoholism distorted and screwed up my feelings

so I was always on the wrong side of the tracks.

AA has restored me to a sane way of thinking and

today, with the help of the fellowship, a sponsor,

the Big Book and other tools, I now know how

to feel like a child, act like an adult and to enjoy

those feelings which allow me to live life

on God’s terms.

Recovery is one day at a time.

Sobriety is a blessing from our Higher Power.

ME and the Boss

.

And, if no one has told you yet today,

God loves you and so do we.

Contingencies

.

.

“Are you really

placing recovery first,

or are you making it

contingent upon other

people, places,

or circumstances ?”

.

~ As Bill Sees It, p.251

.

.

If only he, she, it, they, them, those, there,

would do it exactly the way I wanted it done

everything would be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Serenity Prayer, ‘God grant me the serenity to accept the

things I cannot change,  (other people, places or things),

the courage to change the things I can, ( me and my attitude)

and the wisdom to know the difference.’

If you don’t expect too much

you are less likely to be disappointed.

Sobriety is:

no frustration, no expectations,

no disappointments, no contingencies.

Sobriety is:

doing the will of your loving Higher Power.

Recovery is one day at a time.

Sobriety is a blessing from our Higher Power.
