*Topics 5/7/25* ❤️🩹
1) *RESPECT FOR OTHERS -Daily Reflection*
Such parts of our story we tell to someone who will understand, yet be unaffected. The rule is we must be hard on ourselves, but always considerate of others.
-ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 74
2) *Grapevine Daily Quote*
“‘How will I know if I’ve really hit my bottom?’ I asked at my home group. When you stop digging,’ they told me.”
3) *Healing The Past – Walk In Dry Places*
In our fellowship, we can find endless examples of people who used the Twelve Steps to overcome all kinds of emotional and physical disabilities. Just when we start thinking something in our past is a permanent handicap, we meet other people who survived the same bitter experiences and are living life to the fullest. They’ve cleared away the wreckage of their past in order to build wisely for the future.
4) *Keep It Simple*
Secrets help keep us sick. In our drinking and using days, we did things we weren’t proud of. We lived in a secret world we were ashamed of. Our behavior and our secrets kept us trapped. Recovery offers us a way out of this secret world. In our groups, we share our secrets, and they lose their power over us. There may be things we’re too ashamed to talk about in our groups. When we share these things in our Fifth Step, they lose their power over us.
