From Today's Gift:

You are here for a purpose. There is not a duplicate of you in the whole wide world; there never has been, there never will be. You were brought here now to fill a certain need. Take time to think that over.
--Lou Austin

No other person is exactly like you or me. No one can do exactly what we can, or touch another person in exactly the way we can. Out of all the people who could have been created, we were chosen to be a part of this time and...

Change

The world is changing constantly, and I am no longer afraid of this change.
I want to be a part of it and its new developments.
I have been shown, and fully believe today, that faith can move mountains.
I once encountered many blind alleys, but today, as long as I have faith,
my path is clear. . .
Whatever problems confront me, large or small, they can be solved wisely.
Or they can be solved my way. The choice is mine....

Just a suggestion on font size

feeds@yuku.com (moodycatt) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:52:28 GMT

Hello,

I know your trying to get this wonderful group more active. I was thinking I'd share that I feel the font on the posts are a bit large. That may be my settings on my computer? You all may have decided on this size I don't know. I love the colors and how it is set up though! I Just think the font size kinda makes you jump back a bit. For whatever it's worth, theres my 2 cents.

From Daily Reflections:

The Best For Today

The principles we have set down are guides to progress.
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 60

Just as a sculptor will use different tools to achieve desired effects in
creating a work of art, in Alcoholics Anonymous the Twelve Steps are
used to bring about results in my own life. I do not overwhelm myself
with life's problems, and how much more work needs to be done. I let
myself be comforted in...

From Twenty-Four Hours A Day:

A.A. Thought For The Day

Alcoholics are unable or unwilling, during their addiction
to alcohol, to live in the present. The result is that they
live in a constant state of remorse and fear because of
their unholy past and its morbid attraction, or the uncertain
future and its vague foreboding. So the only real hope for
the alcoholic is to face the present. Now is the time. Now is
ours. The past is beyond recall....

Question

feeds@yuku.com (Paliea) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:52:59 GMT

Okay, I have to ask. Perhaps some place I should have learned what it is, but I have not. I hope this isn't a *stupid* question (I know people say there are no stupid questions, but still, you know what I mean!). So please tell me, what the heck is E,S&H?
Thanks for answering this for me...

From Each Day A New Beginning:

Joy fixes us to eternity and pain fixes us to time. But desire and fear hold us in bondage to time, and detachment breaks the bond.
--Simone Weil

We live both in the material realm and the spiritual. In our material dimension we seek material pleasures, inherent in which is pain. Our human emotions are tied to our material attachments, and joy, at its fullest, is...

From Twenty Four Hours A Day:

A.A. Thought For The Day

You can prove to yourself that life is basically and fundamentally an
inner attitude. Just try to remember what troubled you most a week
ago. You probably will find it difficult to remember. Why then should
you unduly worry or fret over the problems that arise today? Your
attitude toward them can be changed by putting yourself and your
problems in God's hands and trusting Him to see that...

A Lot of AA

They told me that giving was living, and living was loving, and loving was God.
And you don't have to worry about God,
because He's sitting right in front of your eyes.
You get just a little sobriety, and you get just a little humility.
Not much, just a little.
Not the humility of sackcloth and ashes, but the humility of a man
who's glad he's alive and can serve.
You get just a little tolerance, not too much,...

From Each Day A New Beginning:

Mental health, like dandruff, crops up when you least expect it.
--Robin Worthington

We're responsible for the effort but not the outcome. Frequently, a single problem or many problems overwhelm us. We may feel crazy, unable to cope and certain that we have made no progress throughout this period of recovery. But we have. Each day that we choose sobriety, that...

From Twenty Four Hours A Day:

A.A. Thought For The Day

We must know the nature of our weakness before we can determine
how to deal with it. When we are honest about its presence, we may
discover that it is imaginary and can be overcome by a change of
thinking. We admit that we are alcoholics and we would be foolish if
we refused to accept our handicap and do something about it. So by
honestly facing our weakness and keeping ever present the...

Really neat video

This is video of Bela Lugosi after he was released from a sanitarium.� The sound isn't great, I had to turn it way up, but it's really interesting to watch.

Prison Commitment

feeds@yuku.com (shay7474) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:23:32 GMT

Hello all! I hope everyone is well and taking it one day at a time.

I chaired my first meeting ever last Friday, and I really went for the gusto by doing it at a prison commitment. I can't say that I did a very good job in the sense of being organized or having a clue what I was doing, but I think it went well. Thank God I had a gal with me who knew what she was doing, lol, and was able to...

From Daily Reflections:

A SPIRITUAL KINDERGARTEN

We are only operating a spiritual kindergarten in which
people are enabled to get over drinking and find the grace
to go on living to better effect.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 95

When I came to A. A., I was run down by the bottle and
wanted to lose the obsession to drink, but I didn't really
know how to do that. I decided to stick around long enough
to find out from the ones who went...
