Default Topic of the Week, words beginning with the letter "U"

U is for Understanding. Through understanding of the program, we learn to understand who our God is to us and through that understanding, we learn to truly understand and know ourselves as we work the Steps.

U is for Unity. Without you, there is no me. We can do what I can't do alone.

U is for Utilize. Don't criticize, utilize the program. Find what works for you. If you tried my program, you just might get drunk, but hopefully I can say something that will be of benefit to you.

U is for Useless. Trying this program by yourself is useless. This is a we program. We can do what I can't do alone. Isolation is part of our disease. It not only blocks the negative from our lives, it stops the positive as well. As my mom said to me many years ago, "Is your faith so weak, that it hits the ceiling and bounces back."

U is for United. United we stand against this disease of addiction. We can do what I can't do alone. Without you, there is no me. Others do not understand, but you know where I am coming from. As I like to say, "Been there done it, wore the t-shirt."

U is for Understand. I understand we went through all this before, but I do understand that this is a one day at a time program. When I get to Step 12, I was told to start again at Step One, so I am starting the ABCs again. They were a blessing the first time around and I am sure they will be the second and third time around.

U is for Unity of Spirit. I was at my group in spirit tonight, even if I bodily didn't make it there. I feel bad, because it is important for me to be there. I am sure someone stepped up and took my place.

U is for Unknown. Many people fear the unknown. We need to learn to walk in faith. If our God brought us to it, He/She will surely see us through it.

U is for Unanimous. For those who have come to the fellowships and stayed clean and sober, I think that we would find that we would get an unanimous vote of gratitude for the 12 Step Programs. Some say the program didn't work for them. I say, "Did you work for the program." We have to want recovery, we can't stay clean if we are unwilling to be clean in the first place.

U is for Undo. I wish there was an undo button that I could push in life to correct all the wrong decisions I made in life. Life doesn't work that way. We lots of practice and hopefully learning from our mistakes, we don't make as many wrong decisions that need to be undone. I am so grateful that I have a loving, caring, and forgiving God in my life.

U is for Use. Stop using drugs and alcohol. There are natural highs in recovery. I used people, places and things to take me out of reality. In today, my Higher Power utilizes people, places, and things to show me a new way to live.
