We feel that the elimination of our drinking is but a beginning. ~Alcoholics Anonymous
Today I am grateful...
- for the freedom of being grateful for what I expect to be coming my way
- that the relationship I have with a higher power is the relationship I have with myself
- for yesterday's healthy meeting on the first step
- to have pointed out to me by someone above that when I am in fear about speaking to a stranger I am keeping myself separate
- that I never doubt I feel deserving of my sobriety and recovery
- that today might be a good day for a Thai lunch
- for the understanding of my life today, albeit not complete understanding, but enough for me to be able to relax in it most of the time
Grace is the love and generosity of God, which comes through no effort of our own. Not until we felt defeated would we open ourselves to this gift of help from our Higher Power. Grace comes in many forms. It is in the hope we feel in the morning after a night of rest, and it's in the good feeling we get attending our meetings. Before this program, most of us were trying so hard to control our lives we couldn't notice any gifts that came from outside our efforts. These Twelve Steps train us for becoming receptive to the healing grace of God. ~Touchstones

I keep myself seperate most of the time and therein lies a big part of the problem.
I hope you get to Thai one on today.
Have a great thai lunch. I am slightly jealous.
Dear Scott,
Your quotes are always an inspiration to me. Thank YOU
How was that there Thai lunch???
Unfortunately that Thai lunch didn't happen.
I love the last passage, and can so relate. I've never had a Thai breakfast, dinner or supper..but I'm willing.
i love thai, i haven't had it in a very long time.
