IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

“Rather than put a label on yourself as Christian, Jew, Moslem, Buddhist, or whatever, instead make a commitment to be Christ-like, God-like, Buddha-like and Mohammed-like.” -Dr. Wayne Dryer I make a commitment to be “Twelve Step-like” today.

Today I am grateful...
  • for last night's dinner under the stars with my old friend Carol
  • for the hilarious email from my spiritual brother DR prompted by frustrations. If he had hair he would have been pulling it out.
  • that I could immediately pick up the phone and call him. We both laughed and neither of us will get drunk today.
  • for prayers that a rumor isn't true
  • that after receipt of another email from someone distressed, not knowing what I would reply--I found the answer talking with another drunk


Many meetings, many chances; few meetings, few chances; no meetings, no chances. The trouble with staying home and isolating is I get a lot of bad advice.

“Anger” is one letter away from danger. If I am right, I don’t need to be angry. If I am wrong, I can’t afford to be angry.

isolating... yes, the mind of an alcoholic is like a bad neighborhood, don't go there alone, especially at nite! Self sponsorship, not a good idea for me... (although I do it....) A good friend in AA once told me " don't talk to yourself, you're consulting with an idiot...

I love Dr Wayne Dreyer... he is cool. My hubby is really into him right. We are reading into the gap and the power of intentions
