I can relate to what is said in today’s reflection…
“If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing.”
It adds;
“When I had taken my Fifth Step, I became aware that all my defects of character stemmed from my need to feel secure and loved.”
And that’s where […]
Reading today’s “Daily Reflections“ I believe I am reading Dr. Bob’s words…
First Things First - Dr. Bob speaks of practice and I imagine that this was passed down to the point when it eventually came to me because my sponsor pointed out to me the only way I’d become good at anything was to practice […]
“Fear knocked at the door; faith answered; no one was there.”
Just my personal opinion now - if I’m afforded the luxury of having time to think, even momentarily, at what appears fearful, it is one thing. On the other hand, if I have no opportunity to consider, am taken completely by surprise instantly, it is […]
Take The Cotton Out Of Your Ears! AND - Put It In Your Mouth!
There are a lot of old phrases that meant quite a bit to folks like me that I rarely hear anymore. This is one of them.
Do you take offense to such a saying? If you do, the odds are good that you’re […]
That’s right! By telling on his/her disease and being truthful, the oldtimer manipulated the topic at yesterday’s meeting…
You were given cause to think, develop an answer based in the Twelve Steps, and respond accordingly. Did you?
Or, did you believe that the oldtimer was okay, didn’t truly need your help, wasn’t looking for an answer that […]
At the beginning of Step Four we found that “Creation gave us instincts for a purpose. Without them we wouldn’t be complete human beings.” Now, at the beginning of Step Five we’re told;
“All of A.A.’s Twelve Steps ask us to go contrary to our natural desires… they all deflate our egos. When it comes to […]
Why do I have to admit the exact nature of my wrongs to another human being?
Page 72:
“The best reason first: If we skip this vital step, we may not overcome drinking. Time after time newcomers have tried to keep to themselves certain facts about their lives. Trying to avoid this humbling experience, they have turned […]
From the book “Back To Basics” (though I’m certain these definitions might be found anywhere…)
To be used as a guide for a Fourth Step - Liabilities and their definitions.
Resentment - “When we are angry or bitter toward someone for an extended period of time over some real or imagined insult, we are feeling resentment. It […]
Yeah, I’m sure many will say they are… and I’d be tempted to refer them to the poem JJ shared with us in a recent post.
Self-delusion. Masks.
Of course! Some truly are! How about you?
“We are convinced God wants us to live happy, joyous, and free.” Why did they feel compelled to say this in our […]
Fear
Back to the Big Book, pg. 67;
“This short word somehow touches about every aspect of our lives. It was an evil and corroding thread; the fabric of our existence was shot through with it. It set in motion trains of circumstances which brought us misfortune we felt we didn’t deserve. But did not we, ourselves, […]
