The danger comes when people become too lazy or careless to take even these simple steps. Then, like a bike losing forward momentum, they can wobble and fall. Even at the point of wobbling, one can get a bike up to speed again and gain stability. This is something to remember if we find our own sobriety becoming wobbly. ~Walk in Dry Places
Today I am grateful...
- for the 'family talk' last night
- that I got sober during the month of thanksgiving and gratitude
- that the program of AA has taught me to take principles into my daily life
- for the distance honesty will take me
- that I can relax with trust and faith in knowing I have all I need today and every day
If you were walking back from a well, carrying a bucket of water & someone jostled you, there could be spilled from the bucket only that which it contained. As you walk along the way of life, people are constantly bumping into you. If your heart is full of ill nature, bad temper, and ugly disposition, only those things will be spilled from it. On the other hand, if it is full of love, you will spill a smile or pleasant remark. You can spill from your bucket only that which it contains. ~Author Unknown
