Take the Body and the Mind will follow. Action and more Action!!!

Your daily habits and routines disclose a lot about your mental, physical and spiritual state.

Play the hand you were dealt. If you learn to be ok with yourself and acknowledge what is going on in your world and your the part you play in it, then you can change what you don't like and keep the rest.

Willingness is key! Step six is simply me being willing to change. I admit I need help every time I go to an Al Anon meeting, I pick up this book, I pray. These are all sign to the universe or to my higher power that I am willing to receive new ideas and new information.

Enlarging your spiritual condition on a daily basis is necessary for long term happiness and recovery. Practicing Steps 10, 11 & 12 give me a simple daily routing to keep moving forward and continue my spiritual growth.

Thank God I don't have to figure out everything myself. When I get overwhelmed and life gets to be to much I can ask for help and trust that God can do for me what I can't do for myself.

Resentments cut me off from the sunlight of the spirit. They just aren't worth it. They steal my joy and slow me down on my journey of joy.

If I was to sum this reading up in one sentence, I think it would be "Live and Let Live". I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and I don't have to be. What Freedom!!!

Life is a journey not a destination. My experience, good and bad, is best used to help someone on their journey of recovery and nothing else. Re living the past, dwelling in guilt, remorse & shame only keeps me stuck. I must move forward and to do that I must forgive myself and grow.

Just like the Steps are the answer to the individual the Traditions are the answer for the group. Learning to be one of the spokes in a wheel and not driving the entire car has been a huge lesson for me. God is the ultimate authority in all of our groups. Encouraging us to place principles before personalities.
