AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote
We have seen the truth demonstrated again and again: ‘Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.’ Commencing to drink after a period of sobriety, we are in a short time as bad as ever. If we are planning to stop drinking, there must be no reservation of any kind, nor any lurking notion that someday we will be immune to alcohol. – Pg. 33 – More About Alcoholism

Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
The slogans we are learning are like combinations to unlock something of value and make it accessible to our mind. Even if we don’t like the slogans hanging on the walls and repeated at meetings, we at least consider the possibility of opening our mind to it’s intent.
What situation, God, can I find this hour where a slogan will lead me to the solution?
I Will Be Me
I will be me, today. One thing I never seem to do well at, is trying to be someone else. I can imitate and learn from others, but I cannot be them. Only they know how to do that, it’s a natural outgrowth of all that they have experienced in life, of all they are. That’s the bad news. The good news is no one can be me as well as me. Being me builds on who I already am. It’s exercise for my personality and my spirit. If I allow myself to actualize my own unique gifts and visions they will have originality to them, a freshness.
