1. During this process of learning more about humility, the most profound result of all was the change in our attitude toward God.-12 & 12, p. 75
2. Two things can spoil group unity–gossip and criticism. To avoid these divisive things, we must realize that we’re all in the same boat. We’re like a group of people in a life-boat after the steamer has sunk. If we’re going to be saved, we’ve got to pull together. It’s a matter of life or death ~for us. Gossip and criticism are sure ways of disrupting any A.A. group. We’re all in A.A. to keep sober ourselves and to help each other to keep sober. And neither gossip nor criticism helps anyone to stay sober. Am I guilty of gossip or criticism? ~Twenty-Four Hours A Day
3. Have the courage to act instead of react.—Darlene Larson Jenks
Taking the time to be thoughtful about our responses to the situations we encounter offers us the freedom to make choices that are right for us. Impulsive behavior can be a thing of our past, if we so choose. It seldom was the best response for our well being. ~Each Day A New Beginning
4.There is scarcely any form of trouble and misery which has not been overcome among us. – Pg. 15 – Bill’s Story
