Good morning to all.
It's a wet Tuesday morning here in Sydney Australia the temp>27c and I have won the lottery of life because I have been blessed with another day.
Today I woke up I never come to. (Big difference) .I know where I have been and what I have said and done. I havent hurt anyone physically. Or verbally with that two ounces of poison I call a tongue.
I havent made any phone calls through the night that will come back to haunt me if you know what I mean. And I dont have any Shame, Guilt or Remorse.
The promises of AA on page 83 of the Big Book 3rd addition are happening in my life. And for that I am truly grateful.
Have a sober 24 God Bless
The Twelve Promises
We are going to know a new freedom & a new happiness.
We will not regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word Serenity &
We will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale weve gone,
well see how our experiences can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness & self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things & gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude & outlook on life will change.
Fear of people & economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which use to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not to for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not.
Theyre being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
Theyll always materialize if we work for them.
God Bless
Lionel - I love the Promises, we read them at every meeting I attend, ooh except maybe my Women's stag - gotta stay honest - LOL....hope you're doing well.
I,ve been sober for 19yrs and still continue to hold on to the promises.I know today being sober is the softer easier way.thank god i got sober for me,and learned early on that recovery was god first ,not drinking and and change.
