A Sober Life: June 2009
http://soberjust42day.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 14, 2009. Over the years many meetings have started with the topic "acceptance". I used to think acceptance meant being a doormat for others to wipe their feet on. Or acceptance meant giving up. Of course it means giving up - my self will, that is. Acceptance doesn't mean I approve of the thing or that I even like it. It just means that I now am willing to accept the thing as it is. I am willing to let go of my agenda. But God had another plan! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://soberjust42day.blogspot.com/2009/04/be-attitudes-for-recovering-person.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. Be-Attitudes for the Recovering Person. Blessed are the addicted persons who are Powerless, for they shall No Longer Support Their Habit. Blessed are they who have Come To Believe, for they have Hope. Blessed are they who Made a Decision, for they shall Find Recovery. Blessed are they who Search within themselves, for they shall Taste Freedom. Blessed are they who Admit their Wrongs, for they shall have the Miracle of Forgiveness.

A Sober Life: Not fighting with myself
http://soberjust42day.blogspot.com/2009/04/not-fighting-with-myself.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Not fighting with myself. This morning I asked God to lift the fears, anger, and intolerance from me and replace those character defects with tolerance, kindness, and love. I have to ask for help often if I want to stay on His track. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Be-Attitudes for the Recovering Person. The Drunken Driver Has the Right Of Way.

A Sober Life: Kindness
http://soberjust42day.blogspot.com/2009/04/kindness.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. Great reading today in Courage to Change. The message was simple. To paraphrase, when I am distressed by someone's behavior, or conflicted, uncertain as to how to proceed, or when I do not know how to respond to a person, I can fall back on being kind. If nothing else, I can remember to practice courtesy and respect. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Be-Attitudes for the Recovering Person. The Drunken Driver Has the Right Of Way.

A Sober Life: March 2009
http://soberjust42day.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. E-mail to my sponsor Ed on July 8, 1983. I had a mind-opening experience last night. Another spoke of her husband's fanaticism about meetings. etc. The meeting was so good for me. I went in there with the big EGO, thinking, I'm a member of AA and these people can learn a lot of from me. but after I listened for a while, I started coming down to size. I needed to hear where these women were coming from. Saturday, March 28, 2009. Sunday, March 22, 2009. Who ate all the ice cream?

A Sober Life: The Drunken Driver Has the Right Of Way
http://soberjust42day.blogspot.com/2009/04/drunken-driver-has-right-of-way-by.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. The Drunken Driver Has the Right Of Way. The Drunken Driver Has the Right Of Way. The loudest have the final say,. The wanton win, the rash hold sway,. The realist's rules of order say. The drunken driver has the right of way. The Kubla Khan can butt in line;. The biggest brute can take what's mine;. When heavyweights break wind, that's fine;. No matter what a judge might say,. The drunken driver has the right of way. The guiltiest feel free of guilt;. De jure is de facto's slave;.
