THE PROMISES

The Promises, that are read in many A.A. Meetings can be found on page 83-84, of the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous.
THE A.A. PROMISES

If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. 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 the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and selfpity 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 of 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.

Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.

You Were Only Given This Life.. Quote Pictures, Images and Photos


I am an alcoholic and addict to the full extent!!!I was clean and sober from Feb.1996 until Sept.2005......Yeah I did just like they tell ya not to do, quit going to meetings, quit reading the book, quit working the steps, my sponser moved to China, I quit praying.....my relapse started long before that first drink!! Ya know I really do not know why some of us get the chances we get, I just know this has got to be my last,,,,,you only get so many chances Im starting new......just as I have in my life, Glad to be back!!! Since I dont have a drivers license its hard to make meetings like I should but Im strong, Im determined, I manage....I am willing this time around to go to ANY LENGTHS to maintain my sobriety!!!!

I love my children, my family, my friends, I love sobriety, I love the people in recovery that are trying hard like me to change, to achieve the lives they truly deserve for themselves and for people that love them .... I love to cry,I love to laugh I love that I feel things, I love music, I love that Im an addict it makes me who I am....I love my life today!!




I try not to have many dislikes but I guess it would be prejudice,racism, people that stereotype and judge, closed minds, hatred, things like that. I hate to cry, I hate that I feel things, I hate that Im an addict that I allow something to have that much power over me... I hate these things just as much as I love them!!!

Yesterday I heard myself say, "I wish I had his new car". I went home feeling ungrateful and sat down and made my list.

Dear God, You have given me so much to be thankful for.
I have a house, not a castle, but it's all mine.
I have a car. Not brand new but it runs well.
I have a family who has forgiven me.
I have a sweet little girl dog who loves me.
I have 56 friends in my home group.
I have 56 teachers who tell me how to live.
I have a job that pays well.
I have a new knee and insurance that paid for it.
I have otherwise good health.
I have a friend who’s cancer surgery was successful.
I am two years from a retirement.
I have places to go seven nights a week.
I'm no longer lonely.
I no longer lie or steal.
I no longer want to drink myself to death.
I have faith in something at last!

Thank you God for all the bounty and when you hear me moan occasionally, it's only that little part of me that's not healed yet that forgets how much we already have.

And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some
person,
place, thing, or situation,
some fact of my life,
unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until
I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as
being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this
moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in
God's
world
by mistake.

There is nothing you need to get,
find or acquire
to be enlightened.
You don't need a teacher or a
guru.
You don't need a priest or rabbi to
intercede
with God for you. You
don't need a special technique
or
meditation practice. You don't need
to memorize
scripture or engage in
esoteric breathing practices.
Looking
for spirituality outside yourself is a
dead end.

Trust your Higher Power

May today there be peace within.
May you trust your Highest Power
that you are exactly where you are
meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith. May you use those gifts
that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow
your soul the freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun.

I'm Slipping
When I begin to dislike AA conversation and company... When I deliberately stay away from meetings.... When I am beginning to take your inventory, instead of my own.... When I am more afraid to be known as an AAer than a drunk..... When I begin to remember the good times that I had drinking and overlook the bad.... When I begin to condemn in others that which I tolerate in myself.... When I shrink from self-examination.... I'm slipping.
