From today’s Daily Reflection: “Those Who Still Suffer”
“For us, if we neglect those who are still sick, there is unremitting danger to our own lives and sanity.”
It is my personal opinion (fwiw) that this is a piece of writing that undoes the profundity expressed in meetings that the […]
Keep your big mouth shut!
This, for me, goes a very long way to defining humility.
I was always Johnny-On-The-Spot when someone was troubled, in harms’ way or hurt. It seemed that accidents happened close by and I’d be there to help. But I had a motive despite the coincidental nature of most of these circumstances.
I wanted […]
Really? But you’ve “done” your Seventh Step, right? Um Hmmm.
This applies to me as well folks! Today’s Reflection;
Shortcomings Removed
“When I put the Seventh Step into action I must remember that there are no blanks to fill in.”
Isn’t this interesting? If I hadn’t read this I’d be wondering what they meant. They go on to say;
“It […]
“Of myself I am nothing, the Father doeth the works.”
From page 75 in AA’s 12&12;
“During this process of learning more about humility, the most profound result of all was the change in our attitude toward God. And this was true whether we had been believers or unbelievers. We began to get over the idea that […]
My first stop each day, if you hadn’t figured it out :), is the Daily Reflection. Today’s begins with this: “My stability came out of trying to give, not out of demanding that I receive.”
And I damn well want to know why I am still unstable when I make no friggin’ demands upon God for […]
Doesn’t necessarily work if you’re an alcoholic…
From The Seventh Step in the 12&12;
“True, most of us thought good character was desirable, but obviously good character was something one needed to get on with the business of being self-satisfied.”
Yeah - right. In the case of most alcoholics and also most humans, we were previously told “Instead […]
Sooo - I’m human just like you :)
With an added feature - alcoholism… Permanent, progressive, fatal and damn patient! Mighty damn patient.
Mary Christine said: “Hang in there and know that God loves you and is being kind and loving towards you even though it feels horrible.” Think about that for a moment. It reminds me […]

The Seventh Step Prayers
“I humbly offered myself to God, as I then understood Him, to do with me as He would. I placed myself unreservedly under His care and direction. I admitted for the first time that of myself I was nothing; that without Him I was lost. I ruthlessly faced my sins and […]
For those who might not understand - the pop is a sound heard when someone’s head makes a sudden, strained, and loud emergence from the nether regions of your ****ole! anal cavity!
Heard something else at a meeting today and I loved it. Why? Because it came from the mouth of someone who is a […]

4th STEP Prayers
WHEN IN DOUBT
“I was to sit quietly when in doubt, asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems as He would have me. Never was I to pray for myself, except as my requests bore on my usefulness to others. Then only might I expect to receive. But that would […]
