![]() We all come together With one common goal To carry the message God let us hold When your stumbling drunk With no where to turn Comes to our program Twelve steps learn When all worn out From your wild ways We'll share our hope Help you to find Sober days The ultimate goal Is to pass It on We Do our best Before they're gone Helping others To get along First we surrender to win Then we clean house Make amends Where we can Go to meetings And then Go again This was is simple But really hard For we do the battle In our own yard When you look in the mirror Who do you see Your own worst enemy Looking back at thee Now don't be frightened You're not alone When you walked Through our doors You have a new home Get a sponsor Pray extra hard I'll always remember How soon I forgot I thought I was different But I was not Real soon After That I drank again Real fast I remembered Why I first came in God saw fit To give me Another Try I Had To get Honest And Not deny Together we can Have victory Daniel M Corkery 1/12/2001 Without you, there is no me!

Without you, there is no me. You show me what to do, what not to do, do my research for me, mirror my inner soul, and when you share, you remind me that I am no longer alone.

Just sending a hug your way. Always good to reread something old that becomes new again in today.

K.I.S.S., Keep It Simple, Sweetheart. Sounds much better than the original, Keep It Simple, Stupid. We had enough derogatory talk prior to recovery, we don't need to put ourselves down in today.

A sense of humor is a good thing, especially when you can laugh at yourself.
In today, I can laugh with someone instead of at someone like I did before program. My disease would raise it's ugly head, especially when I was hurting or felt less than. Thank God for this program. It told me that for every finger I pointed at someone, I had three coming back at me. It is a program of reflection.

An old online friend spelled God as G-d. I love it, because to me it means, "Fill in the blanks." It is my understanding of God and it is personal. It doesn't matter whether it is a religious God or a recovery G.O.D. Group of Drunks and Drug Addicts showing me a new way to live. Both work for me, because my recovery came from the people in the rooms of recovery. My God got me there. He lead me there. He gave me the courage and strength to stay there, and continue to walk with Him/Her one day at a time. As the saying goes, "Who ever heard of a Him asking for direction." I need that Good Orderly Direction every day.

You spend more time with yourself than with anyone else. Doesn't it make sense to put something into that relationship?
I am my own best friend and value my own companionship. - Pocket Sponsor It is important to get to know myself. I lived my life through others for so many years. I had to find myself so I could look at what needed changing and to look at what needed nurturing. If no one has told you today, I love you. Learn to love yourself. Give yourself a hug! I found myself reflected in the people in the rooms of recovery. As they say, "It takes one to know one." I took a little from one person, a lot from another, none from that one thank you very much for showing me how not to work my program. Be kind to yourself. Go to a meeting! Get to know yourself through the fellowship of the spirit.
