AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote
Now we try to put spiritual principles to work in every department of our lives. When we do that, we find it solves our problems too; the ensuing lack of fear, worry and hurt feelings is a wonderful thing. – Pgs. 116-117 – To Wives

Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
Get a sponsor, get a program, get into service, get a Higher Power in your life, pray every day, go to 90 meetings in 90 days, work the steps or die. Get a life. Wake up and smell the recovery.
When I am tempted to think these clean and sober people at meetings are full of ****, let me remember that they’re full of clean and sober **** and I’d do well to listen.
Appreciating Life
I have the gift of life. I am here. I am alive, with all of my senses and able to experience the magic of this incredible world. Whatever this day has in store for me – I am open to receive. I will act on my day and allow my day to act on me. I am open. I will take steps that I know will make my day feel good, productive and pleasurable, and then I will let the rest happen. Each day presents me with gifts and surprises, if I know how to unwrap the present – if I remember how to be astonished or pleased.
Life itself is the gift.
– Tian Dayton PhD

Sobriety often brings us effects we never expected, like becoming the person we used to resent!
I used to resent people whose standards I could not live up to. Now, by the Grace of God, I am one!
