The Daily Reflection: “The Rippling Effect”
“Having learned to live so happily, we’d show everyone else how… Yes, we of A.A. did dream those dreams. How natural that was, since most alcoholics are bankrupt idealists… So why shouldn’t we share our way of life with everyone?”
Idealism;
“The property of having high ideals that are usually unrealizable or […]
It might be small for some and absolutely amaze others… but I find it both interesting and truly lame…

Bill Wilson had his moments. I’ve had some myself. And it may be that there is some “secret” to getting through those moments.
Understanding my imperfections, or simply the fact I am imperfect, is a strong beginning. There is only one reason that is possible today - I’ve worked the Twelve Steps into my life.

Costello: Yes. I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer.
Abbott: Mac?
Costello: No, the name’s Lou.

This feeling is mentioned in today’s Daily Reflection, “Fear and Faith.”
“Fear has caused suffering when I could have had more faith. There are times when fear suddenly tears me apart, just when I’m experiencing feelings of joy, happiness and a lightness of heart. Faith - and a feeling of self-worth toward a Higher Power - […]
Who? Me? You?
No, it doesn’t work that way.
I’m reading another Blog whereon someone takes great pains to decide for a lot of folks whether they truly are or are not real alcoholics, apparently in some mis-guided attempt to weed out some level of our membership by the use of the unaided will.
Disturbing as that may […]
