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

Alcohol gave me wings to fly, then took away my sky. ~Anonymous
Today I am grateful...
  • that Boston carried the message yesterday
  • for lunch with my spiritual brother Dennis R
  • for The Addiction Project which starts on HBO March 15th
  • that a change of eating habits has me feeling better
  • for whispered prayers and those overlooked ones
  • for a powerful gratitude offered to me by my beautiful sister
  • that your Higher Power will give you a day blessed with love and happiness

When men and women pour so much alcohol into themselves that they destroy their lives, they commit a most unnatural act. Defying their instinctive desire for self-preservation, they seem bent upon self-destruction. They work against their own deepest instinct. As they are humbled by the terrific beating administered by alcohol, the grace of God can enter them and expel their obsession. Here their powerful instinct to live can cooperate fully with their Creator's desire to give them new life. ~12&12, pg. 64

The Addiction Project? I get HBO but haven't heard of it. Remind me to talk to you about it later.

I think HBO is offering a free weekend when the cornerstone film debuts, will let you know.
