GIVING BACK
. . . . he has struck something better than gold. . . . He may not see at
once that he has barely scratched a limitless lode which will pay
dividends only if he mines it for the rest of his life and insists on giving
away the entire product.

2) Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may have faith enough to believe without seeing. I pray
that I may be content with the results of my faith.
3) “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

4) AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote
The alcoholic is like a tornado roaring his way through the lives of others. Hearts are broken. Sweet relationships are dead. Affections have been uprooted. Selfish and inconsiderate habits have kept the home in turmoil. We feel a man is unthinking when he says that sobriety is enough. He is like the farmer who came up out of his cyclone cellar to find his home ruined. To his wife, he remarked, ‘Don’t see anything the matter here, Ma. Ain’t it grand the wind stopped blowin’?’ – Pg. 82 – Into Action
