1) Since recovery from alcoholism is life itself to us, it is imperative that we preserve in full strength our means of survival.-TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 177
2) We learned about our shortcomings — and of pride in particular — and began to replace self-satisfaction with gratitude for the miracle of our recovery, gratitude for the privilege of working with others, and gratitude for God’s gift — which enabled us to turn catastrophe into good fortune. Have I begun to realize that “pride is to character like the attic to the house — the highest part, and generally the most empty…”?
Today I Will Remember
“Success” can be a setback. ~A Day At A Time
3) There is nothing so moving – not even acts of love or hate – as the discovery that one is not alone. —Robert Ardrey
4) We are asked to accept many things: ourselves, as we are; our feelings, needs, desires, choices, and current status of being. Other people, as they are. The status of our relationships with them. Problems. Blessings. Financial status. Where we live. Our work, our tasks, our level of performance at these tasks.
Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. Acceptance is the magic that makes our present circumstances good. It brings peace and contentment and opens the door to growth, change, and moving forward.
Today, I will accept. I will surrender. I will cultivate contentment and gratitude. I will move forward in joy by accepting where I am today. ~The Language Of Letting Go
