"I PRAY FOR A TRULY THANKFUL HEART AND THAT I MAY BE CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF CAUSES FOR SINCERE GRATITUDE!"
7:56am Sunday
JOYFUL DISCOVERIES Mood
Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Cool     We realize we know only a little.  God will constantly disclose more to you and to us.  Ask him in your morning meditation whay you can do each day for the man who is still sick.  The answers will come, if your own house is in order.  But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven't got.  See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others.  This is the Great Fact for us.

 

BIGBOOK, p.164

 

 

Sobriety for me, is a journey of joyful discovery.  Each day brings new experience, awareness, greater hope, deeper faith, broader tolerance.  I must maintain these attributes or I will have nothing to pass on.

Great events for this recovering alcoholic are the normal everyday joys found in being able to live another day in God's grace.

    I hope to join you on the ' broad highway '. i have been in recovery since August 15th,,1980. It's good to hear you mention and understand the Big Book and the steps....I had a relapse in February- no excuses-- I was not giving my illnesses and life over to Creator, moment by moment and I rationalized that using would allow me to sleep and get well enough to eat..that reptilian part of my brain was in full force--I came right back (within minutes ) & called my sponsor and resumed my daily plan of recovery..no tears, no self-pity or recriminations just a prayer of gratitude that it didn't kill me and ' back to basics...and to helping new comers...I'm very close to them now--will have 6 months August 14th!!!
