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

11.21.06

Those of us who live in large cities are overcome by the reflection that close by hundreds are dropping into oblivion everyday. ~Big Book, pp. 19
Today I am grateful...
  • that today I get to choose the topic for the 12:15 meeting because I am chairing, unless there is a newcomer which will automatically turn us to the first step
  • that today I do not need to hide from anything or anyone
  • for the remembrance of yesterday, the luxury of today and the promise of tomorrow
  • to be lifted up by the smallest of things
  • that above all else, I have the desire to stay sober
When we have a pattern of telling our fellow members the completed stories of our pain only when our pain has passed, we are maintaining our self-centered system. We can't lift ourselves out of our self-centeredness. We can only turn it over to our Higher Power and allow ourselves to be released. ~Touchstones
