AA 'Big Book' - Quote Men and women drink essentially because they like the effect produced by alcohol. The sensation is so elusive that, while they admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time differentiate the true from the false. To them, their alcoholic life seems the only normal one. They are restless, irritable and discontented, unless they can again experience the sense of ease and comfort which comes at once by taking a few drinks -- drinks which they see others taking with impunity. - Pg. xxix - 4th. Edition - The Doctor's Opinion Hour To Hour - Book - Quote Mind is the path. Flesh is the vehicle. We must establish a new mind through the creative power of thought using the 12 steps. We must establish a new body, protecting it from drugs. Only then do we become an aspirant of a whole life. I ask my Creator to make me WHOLE in body, mind, and spirit. Letting Go Letting go of the past and moving on is a tall order; it requires a kind of releasing that I still find difficult to do. My past will always be in the shadows of my memory to haunt me if I do not recognize it as a part of me. If I pretend it's not important, grit my teeth and force myself to numb myself, I have missed the point of this process. On the other had, if I am unwilling to let go no matter how many times I have worked through certain issues, I am also not allowing myself to be fully healthy and return to life. The part of my healing that is a flowing through the stored pain from the past is a decisive, forward-moving action. I understand that, as part of my process of healing, my responsibility to let go and move on. - Tian Dayton PhD Pocket Sponsor - Book - Quote 'You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. ...You must do the thing you cannot do.' -Eleanor Roosevelt I do the thing I cannot do as I overcome F.E.A.R. I Face Everything And Recover. "Walk Softly and Carry a Big Book" - Book The program fixes it so we don't have to suffer from insanity anymore. Now we can enjoy it! Time for Joy - Book - Quote Today I trust my instincts. Today I trust I will know at the right time the right answer. Today I have the faith to know that God guides me in my choices. Alkiespeak - Book - Quote I only need one meeting a week, but I go to seven because I don't know which one I need. - Anon.
