A is for Action. Action follows thought. That is why we need to turn our thinking over to our Higher Power. I often have to take action to change my attitude; or change my attitude so I can take action.
The action here is take time to smell the flowers. ![]()

B is for Blessings. They are too numerous to count. The fact that I woke up in the morning and better able to see more sunshine, will aid in my healing.

C is for Clarity. I will pray and ask for clarity as my disease is one of perception. I will pray and ask for God's Will for me is in today.

D is for Divine Orderly Good. I like to think of the fact that this is a program of reflection. It doesn't matter if your belief of God is different from what others believe their God to be. It is your God. God/Dog - Good Orderly Direction from a bunch of alcoholics and drug addicts who share with us the Divine Orderly Good and not so good in their lives.

E is for Easy Does It. So often we forget that the slogan is followed by"...but do it!" Just because we are taking it easy, doesn't mean we don't do. It is not giving us permission to procrastinate. I need to remember this when it comes to my laundry. I have too many clothes and even though they are not in style, they are clean, and get worn because I haven't wash my today clothes or I bring out the lady and wear a dress or a long skirt. It can still get awkward when the lady comes out, I can still trip up with my tongue and deny the fact that I am a lady and I am trying to change old habits.

F is for Fast. Don't be in a big hurry. Don't rush threw the Steps. This is not a race to be run. Don't go to fast. It takes us 11 months to detox. We can't honestly work the Steps until our mind is clear and we can get honest with ourselves.

G is for Growth. We need to grow in the program and not allow ourselves to be complacent and when we run into difficult times, it is good to go back to basics. Go to a meeting, call your sponsor, go on to the next step or go back and do another one again if you don't have the clarity and faith to go on.

H is for Hesitate and Meditate. Stop and think before you speak or take action. Not an easy slogan to live by, but in today, I do try, although some may think I don't. Just imagine what would come out of my mouth, if I didn't hesitate and take time to turn my speech, my thoughts and my actions over to my Higher Power every day.

J is for Just for Today. The last letter of each word spells out T R Y! That is all we are asked to do is try. The failure is in the not trying. Failure is not about us meeting our expectations. Those we need to lower so they are reachable.

K is for Know
Know that no matter what your problems, someone's had them before. Don't be afraid to share, as a problem shared is one half solved. |

L is for Love. Something to be shared, but also given to oneself. Spread it around. Pass it forward.

M is for Make the most of things. When we stay in the positive, we are sure to have a good day. Living in the moment, brings us much closer to our HP.

N is for New. When we look at each day as a new beginning, we can try to learn from our mistakes of the past, and practice applying the principles to our life. I would like to think, what I do in today, makes for a better tomorrow. If I approach each day as a newcomer, I am more open to learning, getting honest, and willing to share with others.

O is for Outside. For most of my life, I felt like I was outside looking in. As my disease progressed, I stayed inside and didn't go out. Isolation is part of my disease. I need to go out into the community and to my meetings in order to maintain my sobriety.
