C is for Care.

Make a daily decision to put your life int the Care of the God of your understanding. Your God cares for you. Learn to care for yourself.

E is for Enjoy life.

See pages 132-133 in the Big Book.

We absolutely insist on enjoying life. Cheerfulness and laughter is encouraged. Why shouldn't we laugh? We have recovered and have been given the power to help others.

F is for Freedom. Freedom to live our lives and allow others to live theirs. Freedom from old patterns, habits, and behaviors.

H is for Higher Power. As it says in the Big Book of Alcoholic Anonymous, God as we understand Him. I like to say, "Him/Her/It" don't limit your recovery by limiting your God as to how He/She/It can work in your life.

As a sponsee once said to me, "I listened to my Lower Power for years, why not listen to my Higher Power in today. Let Him show me the way. Don't discount the people He puts in your path, they are there to help you.

J is for Joy. If you aren't enjoying recovery, what are you doing wrong. There is joy to be found in the Fellowship of the Spirit.

K is for Kin. Many of us lose our family, some are fortunate enough to get them back. Kin is important. I found that my AA family was there for me, even when my family wasn't there. Our recovery kin understand where we are coming from and know us in a way our regular family can't hope to understand.

L is for Love. Love is a unconditional. Love is to be shared. Love is a gift that is given and we in turn must pass it on.

O is for Omission. Lying by omission, is still lying. We need to look at our whole life, not leave out the ones we don't like or don't want to look at.

We are only as sick as our secrets.
