1) ” … there are only two sins; the first is to interfere with the growth of another human being, and the second is to interfere with one’s own growth.”-ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 542
2) We must never forget our past. We need to remember the power that our illness has over us. Why? So we can remember how our recovery began. So we can remember we’re not cured. So we can tell our stories. We need to remember how lonely we felt. That way, we’ll make recovery grow stronger One Day at a Time. ~Keep It Simple
3) … as awareness increases, the need for personal secrecy almost proportionately decreases.”—Charlotte Painter
We hang onto secrets when we’re unsure of ourselves. We strive for perfection and we are haunted by our secret fears of not measuring up. The more committed we become to this program, the greater is our understanding of the fallacy of this way of thinking. And as our awareness increases, the more accepting we become of our human frailty, and the less need we have to cover it up. Our mental health is measurable by the openness we offer to the world. ~ Each Day A New Beginning
4) “We sense that here in AA this shared darkness has become a shared light.” ~Grapevine Daily Quote
