G is for Gratitude. I have decided to have a gratitude meeting instead of a speaker for my anniversary. That makes it a sharing meeting, and reaching 25 years is a miracle. I didn't think I was going to live to be 40, I found recovery at 49, and here I am, just turned 74. I have a lot to be grateful for.

G is for Gossip. Don't do it. If you haven't heard it from the horse's mouth, don't repeat it. Either wise it is hearsay, and best not paid forward. Like me hearing that my friend had died, only to walk into a meeting and seeing him sitting there ready to chair the meeting. Not good!!!
What goes around, comes around. It generally bites you in the a$$ too! ![]()

G is for Growth. I need to grow in my recovery and not allow things to go stagnate. By continuing to work the steps and applying them to my life, I can change into the person my God would have me be in today.
Each day is a new beginning. May your God continue to bless you. ![]()

G is for Grace. As the slogan says, "...but for the Grace of God." Without my God's Grace I would not have found the doors of recovery. It says in the Bible, "His Grace is sufficient for you." Without it, I would have died many times over.

G is for ...But for the Grace of God. If it wasn't for that Grace, I know I would be dead. I have been given as second chance at life, so it is up to me to remember that God is good, Good is God. I try to make my day the best it can be and give thanks for His Blessings.

G is for Give. Give over to God. Give to others, share your experience, strength, and hope. You don't have to give money, it can be a loan of an ear, a shoulder to cry on or just be there for someone, you don't have to fill up the silence with words.

G is for Grace
But for the Grace of God. This AA slogan reminds me of Step 2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. |

G is for Grim. We don't have to be sad and grim in recovery. Happiness comes from within. Instead of looking around you for more, be grateful for what you have and give thanks. Tradition 4 says to not take ourselves so seriously. If you aren't enjoyin recovery, ask yourself, "What am I doing wrong?" We don't need a lot of long grim faces, we need smiles and grins. Remember it is attraction, rather than promotion.

G is for Go. If you aren't feeling well, go to a meeting. If you are feeling well, go to a meeting and pass the bless on. When your emotions are all up and down, go to a meeting, chances are you will hear what you need to hear for yourself. Go to a meeting to share with others, but most of all go to a meeting and listen to learn, and learn to listen.
