It may at first seem that cynicism is a sign of sophistication. But it is usually more an indication of self-absorbed immaturity. If you truly want to be sophisticated, then be positive. If you seek to be acutely realistic, then focus on the positive possibilities. ~Ralph MarstonToday I am grateful...- for Live365 internet radio
- that my actions keep reminding me of how far I still have to go
- to hear: "Pausing when agitated is advanced AA."
- for those who relapse and make it back, so I don't have to do the research myself
- that I have no hold on yesterday and tomorrow will never get here
- that although I still have the disease of 'more', I have it a bit less
In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage, so long are you young. When the wires are all down and your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, and then only, are you grown old. ~General Douglas MacArthurLike the song says, “I’ll bet you think this song is about you” You need to get over yourself if you want to get over feeling sorry for yourself. They're just doing it; they're not doing it to me. ~Pocket Sponsor

i love that quote... and couldn't agree more... negativity is soooo overrated...dbv
Damn! And, I love being cynical! It makes me seem so ... bitchy.
My sponsor once told me she was jealous in the beginning of her recovery of the newcomer cuz they got all the attention and still got to drink and/or drug. Funny how resentment takes on a new life but this fellowship helps to iron out all the old and the new.
I am grateful 4 all of those that make it back. Have not seen one that has come back yet saying "Had a hell of a great time, but now it's time to get sober."
