B is for "be there early" which is what Gary B. used to tell me. "Be there early and stay late." I love the meeting before the meeting and the meeting after, too.

D is for Dedication. I need to dedicate myself to my recovery. Without sobriety (soundness of mind) I have the old insanities.

I is for Ideas. I can trust my ideas in today when I turn my day over to my Higher Power. I had to learn to trust these instincts and know that they came from God.

S is for Sharing. When I share my experience, strength and hope with others, it helps me to stay sober. I have to give it away in order to keep it, sobriety that is!
