I finished the Z so I started over! lol
A is for ANONYMITy...the spiritual foundation of our program. It helps us feel at ease abotu being at a meeting with othes and hope things we say dont leave the room! It helps us believe nobody will tell what they heard or who they saw.

B is for Bountiful. When you work the program you get bountiful rewards for being clean and sober. God's gracious gifts are priceless if you are open to receive them.  |

E is for: "Easy does it"!
"Easy Does It", reminds me not to rush my recovery, but to grow
into the Program. Waiting patiently and carefully is not procrastinating.

G is for Grace. But for the Grace of God, I would not be here. But for His Grace, I wouldn't hear what I needed to hear, see what I needed to see, and learn the lessons that are sent my way.  |

K is for Kin. Family is important, but sometimes I had to detach from them and my recovery family were the kin that stood by me. Must remember that when I cut that piece of pie when looking for balance in my life, that I keep kin in mind and give them fair share of my time..  |

O is for Opposite. When I came into recovery, I was told to DO the opposite of what I was thinking. I needed to change my life around 180 degs. I was told to open my mind, and hear what others had to say.  |

Q is for Quit. Quit using people, place and things. Quit trying to fill that empty space inside with things outside of yourself. Fill up with spiritual food, and quiet your mind. Remember this is a program that is mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.  |

S is for Sorrow. Sadness is a normal part of life and recovery; and is part of the grieving process. It is okay to feel sad, but not good to stay there, we do have freedom of choice. It is something I can turn over to my Higher Power and ask for help to handle the sorrows of my life. I have to feeling it, acknowledge it, so I can let it go. Attachments:
