BUTT PRINTS IN THE SAND
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the lord,"What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat,
"But Lord,they are to big for feet.
"My child,"He said in somber tones,
"For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.
"You disobeyed,you would not grow,
The walk of faith,you… Continue

March 13, 2010 - Today's Gift from Hazelden
Today's thought from Hazelden is:
The most important thing we are doing right now is thinking nice thoughts.
--Jim and Marie Burns
Just thinking nice thoughts sounds so simplistic, doesn't it! Surely there is more in life to contemplate than that. But the power of nice thoughts, the impact just such a simple decision can have on our lives and the lives of everyone around us, is awesome.
Having nice thoughts and only nice thoughts is a significant departure for most of… Continue

As Bill Sees It Page 1
Personality Change
"It has often been said of A.A. that we are interested only on
alcoholism. That is not true. We have to get over drinking in order
to stay alive. But anyone who knows the alcoholic personality by
firsthand contact knows that no true alky ever stops drinking
permanently without undergoing a profound personality change."

We thought "conditions" drove us to drink, and when we tried to
correct these conditions and found t… Continue

A new day, a new life...
School keeps me so busy and so does life, in general. It's good to have a life, ya know? I feel like I really have been "reborn". I like it, too. That's pretty new - the lack of fear, the great feeling of being free... for the first time in my life I get to have MY life. Kind of an odd thing to say, I know, I know. But, for so much of my life, I have lived at the whims of other people. I am 46, and I am feeling like a 26 year old! How many peop… Continue

Thought for the Day
We've got rid of our false, drinking selves and found our real, sober selves. And we turn to God, our Father, for help, just as the Prodigal Son arose and went to his father. At the end of the story, the father of the Prodigal Son says, "He was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found." We alcoholics who have found sobriety in AA were certainly dead and are alive again. We were lost and are found.
Am I alive again?… Continue

Reflection for the Day
All my life, I looked to others for comfort, security and all the other things that add up to what I now call serenity. But I've come to realize that I was always looking in the wrong place. The source of serenity is not outside, but within myself. The kingdom is within me, and I already have the key. All I have to do is to be willing to use it.
Am I using the tools of The Program on a daily basis? Am I willing?
Today I Pray

March 13, 2010 - The Eye Opener
Saturday, March 13, 2010
When God makes a tree, it is exactly the species, size and shape He intended it to be. Nothing the tree can do will alter it in the slightest degree.
God, however, in His Wisdom, created man with all perfection, yet allows him to make of himself what he will. He gave us independent minds and wills because He intended that we, the highest form of all living beings, should work out our own mental and moral evolution from morality to immortality.

March 13, 2010 - Just for Today
Saturday, March 13, 2010
Just for today, considering contemporary emerging developments in pharmacology that a vaccine may be pending in the treatment of alcoholism and other addictions, I will not waste any thought on the myth that I might return to responsible drinking some day. An "addiction vaccine" may, in fact, treat and even stop addiction from developing. But researchers caution that any vaccine treats only physical dependency, and alcoholism is a three-pronged condition… Continue

Hope
Having come to believe that I keep what I share,
every time I encourage, I receive courage. . .
With the grace of God and the Fellowship of AA,
I trudge the road of happy destiny.
May I always remember that the power within me is far greater
than any fear before me.

I AM YOUR DISEASE
I hate meetings.
I hate Higher Power.
I hate anyone who has a Twelve Step program.
To all who come in contact with me,
I wish you death and I wish you suffering.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am the Disease of Alcoholism.
Cunning, baffling, and Powerful.
That’s me.
I have killed millions, and I am pleased.
I love to catch you with the element of surprise.
I love pretending I am your friend and lover.
I have given you comfort, have I not?
Wasn’t I there when you were lonely?… Continue

March 12, 2010 - Today's Gift from Hazelden
Today's thought from Hazelden is:
There are important steps I need to take if I want new relationships to last.
I need to allow a new relationship to grow in a healthy way by giving it the time it needs. When I go too fast in a relationship, necessary stages are overlooked, and I might find myself in a relationship destined to fail. When trees are planted and their roots aren't given enough time to grow deeply into the soil, they're sure to fall during a storm. When the… Continue
