recovery tools
Posted On: 01/19/2010 23:04:27

One of the tools I was taught in recovery was to write down things I heard in meetings. It's amazing how listening for quotes and useful statements shared by my friends in the meetings and then putting those thoughts into written word enhances my listening ability - I get better tuned into the message this way. I started utilizing this tool again and here is some of what I've heard lately:

* You are what you think. Dress for success.
* Hold urself accountable 4 ur decisions. Take pride in choosing to do the next right thing.
* Our experiences can provide strength and hope for our peers.
* God works thru people.. communicate with as many people each day as possible.
* Miracles happen around us every day. Pause and recognize some of them- Be Grateful :)
* Move a muscle.. change a thought.
* When someone is relentless and u cant change them.. just accept them.
* This too shall pass.
* Perception is reality... but be careful not to manipulate!
* Have faith in your Higher Power 24 hrs a day.. He *always* has faith in you.
* In order to help yourself.. help someone else.
* God doesnt help us pass the test.. he gives us the courage and wisdom to study and to be prepared to pass.
* God's will is communicated thru people.. We are His channel to peace.
* To conquer the never-ending to-do list.. work on one thing at a time.
* Do whats in front of u now.. dont project into the future.
* If I dont lie I dont need to remember what I said and to whom.
* If at first the door doesnt open.. try another key instead of getting angry.
* Walk the walk.. dont just talk the talk.
* Until i work on improving my own life I don't have anything to offer anybody else.
* Foggy in NJ today.. I'll let God show me the direction when I cannot see.
* In order to be successsful sometimes my ego needs to be deflated and I need to be reminded I am no better than anyone else.
* To be of maximum service dont brag about it.. just do it!
* U dont have to be the best.. just do ur best!
* Young is defined as a person who still has growing to do regardless of age.

and

If at first the door doesnt open.. try another key instead of getting angry.

I also do this. I simply keep a pen in my back pocket at all times (helps with giving and receaving phone numbers also). I take something I heard from every meeting, I simply listen and at some point I will know when I hear the right thing. Then I make a simple note on the palm of my hand. At some point after the meeting this will remind me to put some thought into how do I aply this to my life.


This was all a forgin langage to me when I first came in. It took time and effort to start to understand and put some peices together. Its easy to let everything I heard go after the meeting and never realy put much thought or action in to what I heard once I have left. This has been a grate tool for remembering things the other 23 hours a day.


If I listen I always seem to hear just what I needed to at the moment.
