The epiphany I had about the 5th Step "this" time was: "I was afraid if you knew who I really was, you wouldn't like me, but in my 5th Step, I told somebody who I really was, & they liked me anyway." Wow. Wow! What a concept! Then, the BB says (p.75…

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY 6

JANUARY 6, 2010

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not - nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not - unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not - the world is full of educated failures.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” (Calvin Coolidge)

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY (6)

YOU ARE SMART – YOU CAN DO IT ON YOUR OWN – YOU DON’T NEED THE FELLOWSHIP OF OTHER ALCOHOLICS OR DRUG ADDICTS.

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY 5

JANUARY 5, 2010

“A ship in port is safe - but that’s not what ships are built for.” (Grace Hopper)
"An alcoholic or addict at a meeting is safe - but that's not what recovery is about."

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY (5)

MEETING MAKERS MAKE IT

SOBER:
A. Not drunk or high.
B. Well balanced, realistic, sensible, dignified, rational; not driven to extremes in emotion or thought.

I was a “meeting maker” for my first 20 years in A.A. I would get to a meeting a few minutes before it started, and leave as… Continue

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY 4

JANUARY 4, 2010

“Knowledge is power, but taking action pulls the switch; no action – no power.”

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY (4)

“My brother-in-law is a physician, and through his kindness and that of my mother I was placed in a nationally-known hospital for the mental and physical rehabilitation of alcoholics. Under the so-called belladonna treatment, my brain cleared. Hydrotherapy and mild exercise helped much. Best of all, I met a kind doctor who explained that though certainly selfish and foolis… Continue

OBSTACLES TO SOBRIETY 3

JANUARY 3, 2010

“When I feel hopeless or depressed - that none of my efforts are producing the results I want - I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock – perhaps a hundred times – without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and I know - it was not that blow that did it – but the hundred that had gone before.” (Jacob Riis)

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY (3)

“The A.A. preoccupation with - staying sober - is sometimes grossly misund… Continue

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY 2

JANUARY 2, 2010

It’s not the alcohol or drugs that’s the problem, but the person we become - after - the “chemicals” in pills, alcohol, or drugs “hijack” our brains.

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY (2)

“The practice of admitting one’s defects to another person is, of course a very ancient practice. It has been - validated - in every century, and it characterizes - the lives of all spiritually centered and truly religious people.

But today, religion is by no means the sole advocate of this – saving pri… Continue
