The Promises
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it
We will comprehend serenity
We will know peace
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others
The feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows
Self-seeking will slip away
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change
Fear of people and economic insecurity will leave us
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your BALANCE, you must keep moving.”
–Albert Einstein
“The most wasted of days is one without laughter.”
–E.E. Cummings
My name is Stephanie P and I’m an alcoholic. My sobriety birthday is 7/7/13. The program of Alcoholics Anonymous has changed my life—taught me a way of living that allows me to experience gifts and blessings every day. My home group meets on Thursday mornings, and our matriarch has deemed it a “yummy meeting.” Many take journals into meetings to record their thoughts and insight. I am using this blog to record mine and share as part of a bigger meeting. Here I encourage you, too, to share your experience, strength, & hope.
