"A.A.'s Twelve Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which, if practiced as a way of life, can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole." #AA 12.12 p. 15 #NA #SoberSky

Happy Tuesday, it's a great day to be sober 😊
Prayer is asking a question; meditation is listening to the answer.

Try sobriety.

We have seen the truth again and again: “Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.” If we are planning to stop drinking, there must be no reservation of any kind, nor any notion that someday we will be immune to alcohol.

On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. -AA, pg 86

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.

"One breath, one moment, one day at a time." Two roses are painted in the background.

“I am finally learning really to live one day at a time and to appreciate and be alert to the beautiful, marvel-filled, albeit sometimes infuriating world around me.” #AA Grapevine Daily Quote #SoberSky

"I needed to look no further than the 12 Steps and the powerful wording of our Serenity Prayer, 'to accept the things we cannot change.' With the tools and guideposts of AA, we can learn a little of this precious gift - our gateway to human spirituality."
-No Man is an Island

Acceptance is the answer to all our problems today..

And remember. "Acceptance" does NOT mean "agreement"

Any advice for my followers on how to get through very anxious times?

In all these situations we need self-restraint, honest analysis of what is involved, a willingness to forgive when fault is elsewhere. We need not be discouraged when we fall into the error of our old ways, for these disciplines are not easy. We shall look for progress, not for perfection
p 91 12&12

How is everyone holding up today?

Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point. We asked His protection and care with complete abandon.

-AA pg. 59

“…only through utter defeat are we able to take our first steps toward liberation and strength. Our admissions of powerlessness finally turns out to be a firm bedrock upon which happy and purposeful lives may be built.”

"There is nothing more empowering than doing something completely sober you once believed 100% required alcohol." -Creative Sobriety #Sober #SoberSky

"I'm too busy working on my own grass to notice if yours is greener." The text is written over a large field of green grass with a blue sky above.

"The inventory was ours, not the other man's." # AA BB p. 67 #Sober

Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

Is loneliness a choice?

"Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

George Bernard Shaw

"Sobriety will make living your best life possible. It just may take some time. We can't undo years of addiction in 30 days. So, on the good days, stick with it and on the bad days stick with it."

"We absolutely insist on enjoying life." #AA BB p. 132 #Sober

Forced mindful eating!

“…work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail.”
AA pg. 89
