Humility Prayer God, I am far too often influenced by what others think of me. I am always pretending to be either richer or smarter or nicer than I really am. Please prevent me from trying to attract attention. Don't let me gloat over praise on one hand or be discouraged by criticism on the other. Nor let me waste time weaving imaginary situations in which the most heroic, charming, witty person present is myself. Show me how to be humble of heart. Amen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Thought The Alcoholics Anonymous program has borrowed from medicine, psychiatry, and religion. It has taken from these what it wanted and combined them into the program which it considers best suited to the alcoholic mind and which will best help the alcoholic to recover. The results have been very satisfactory. We do not try to improve on the A.A. program. Its value has been proved by the success it has had in helping thousands of alcoholics to recover. It has everything we alcoholics need to arrest our illness. So ............ Do I try to follow the A.A. program just as it is? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Contemplation Simple Program Our program is simple. It has four equal parts: sobriety, fellowship, service, and faith. Sobriety means we don't use alcohol or drugs any more. Fellowship means we let people into our lives. We work at having a life that's rich with friends. Service means we help when we see the need. It means knowing we have much to offer. Faith means we believe in a loving, caring Higher Power. It means using our Higher Power as a guide in life. Ours is a simple, easy program. Just remember sobriety, fellowship, service and faith. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beneficial Responsibility Happily, A.A.'s per capita expenses are very low. For us to fail to meet them would be to evade a responsibility beneficial for us. Most alcoholics have said they had no troubles that money would not cure. We are a group that, when drinking, always held out a hand for funds. So when we commence to pay our own service bills, this is a healthy change. “As Bill See It” Page 84 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Quote “Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.” ~ Francesca Reigler
