1. “I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows.”-ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76
2. Since most of us are born with an abundance of natural desires, it isn’t strange that we often let these far exceed their intended purpose. When they drive us blindly, or we willfully demand that they supply us with more satisfactions or pleasures than are possible or due us, that is the point at which we depart from the degree of perfection that God wishes for us here on earth. That is the measure of our character defects, or, if you wish, of our sins. ~As Bill Sees It p. 204
3. Resentment is from the Latin, meaning to ‘feel again.’ Rather than feeling that again, think of how it could have been worse, then be grateful it isn’t. Once you get to the grateful part, you can’t be resentful.I cannot be grateful and resentful at the same time; I can’t serve two masters. ~Pocket Sponsor
4. If someone truly wants our help to stop using mood-altering chemicals, we have a responsibility to do all we can. But demanding that someone accept our help or baby-sitting someone who continues to use probably does more harm than good ~Day by Day
