conflict to serenity, from hate to love and many more. Sam talks about being honest and using the ho'opono prayer to

help change her feelings of shame into forgiveness.

The first reading discusses how we can reach out to friends, family and sponsors but as Eileen

she was powerless over her actions as the compulsion to drink took over. Bill writes of having the right attitude

towards a humble job and Sam discuses how looking at it as doing service helps.

The first reading asks you to take time to find out what you have to give.

Sam compares when she felt she had absolutely nothing to give at the end of her drinking

to now. The 2nd reading is about the need for humility to stay sober and be happy,
