As we let go and gave in to the program, we found more happiness. We found joy in ourselves, our friends, our Higher Power, and those around us. Our self-pity changed to self-respect. We were truly out in the sunshine. We were no longer lost in misery. We know how to walk through misery to find joy. ~Keep It Simple

Today I am grateful...
- that my life works today
- that the program of AA is always there, to keep me grounded
- that pain can be lessened by trust and faith
- that I do not have to gossip today to feel better about myself
- that life is less disruptive with a clean house
- for easing the battle with defects
Don't work for my happiness--show me yours--show me that it is possible--show me your achievement--and the knowledge will give me courage for mine. ~Ayn Rand

Blessings and aloha
Those are all wonderful things. I am happy for you.
Love the Ayn Rand quote. My son just received his one year chip. We are so grateful for A.A. and for his life! I am PROUD of what he is accomplishing. I am proud of him!! We all went out to dinner to celebrate.
Changing self-pity to self-respect is an achievement. And I work on my character defects every day--some days the defects win out.
I love Ayn Rand. and Scott W.
