1. “A MEASURE OF HUMILITY”
In every case, pain had been the price of admission into a new life. But this admission price had purchased more than we expected. It brought a measure of humility, which we soon discovered to be a healer of pain.-TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 75
2. Where Rationalizing Leads, p. 197
“You know what our genius for rationalization is. If, to ourselves, we fully justify one slip, then our rationalizing propensities are almost sure to justify another one, perhaps with a different set of excuses. But one justification leads to another and presently we are back on the bottle full-time.” ~As Bill Sees It
3. “Grandfather says … you must not hurt anybody or do harm to anyone. You must not fight. Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.”–Wovoka, PAIUTE
Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? If you want to be right, this is a request from your ego. If you want to be happy then this is of the Great Spirit. The only meaning anything has is the meaning we give it. Maybe we should develop a philosophy of: Today is the last day of the rest of my life. If this were true, how easy it would be to let things go – how easy it would be to forgive. ~Elders Meditation of The Day
4. No God; No Peace. Know God; Know Peace. My program teaches me that I will have peace of mind in the exact proportion of the peace of mind I bring into the lives of others. ~Pocket Sponsor
