AA Thoughts For The Day
Delusion
"We learned that we had to fully concede
to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics.
This is the first step in recovery.
The delusion that we were like other people,
or presently may be, has to be smashed."
©1976AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 17

Thought to Consider . . .
There is no such thing as being 'a little bit alcoholic.'
*~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~*
D E N I A L = Don't Even Notice I Am Lying
*~*~*~*~*^Daily Reflections^*~*~*~*~*
OPENING NEW DOORS
They [ the Promises] are being fulfilled among us
- sometimes quickly,
sometimes slowly.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84
The Promises talked about in this passage are slowly coming to life
for me. What has given me hope is putting Step Nine into action. The
Step has allowed me to see and set goals for myself in recovery.
Old habits and behaviors die hard. Working Step Nine enables me to
close the door on the drunk I was, and to open new avenues for myself
as a sober alcoholic. Making direct amends is crucial for me. As I
repair relationships and behavior of the past, I am better able to
live a sober life!
Although I have some years of sobriety, there are times when the
"old stuff" from the past needs to be taken care of, and Step Nine
always works, when I work it.

*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~*
"Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them
help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up
about you, to have a host of friends, this is an experience you
must not miss."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 1st. Edition,
Working With Others, pg. 89~
