Spiritualityandrecovery

I always bristled whenever someone told me that I had to do anything. Now, just simply changing "Gots to" to "Gets to" has worked miracles in my quest for peace and serenity and I get so much more done.

I had no background in religion or spirituality when coming into the AA Program. I was disappointed in what I had seen with organized religion. I didn't have a clue how to use spirituality in my life. Thought it would take all of the fun out of living. Here you will see how wrong I was.

I was raised to never give in or surrender to anyone or anything. I carried this into adult life. In AA, the 3rd Step advises us to turn our will and our life over to God. I did and am reaping the emotional rewards. I never felt this strong and aware, before.

After doing the 4th Step we sometimes feel that we left some parts of our life out of it that make us wonder if we should have put them in. Then this may digress to wondering how we can ever do this program right. If this is you, STOP RIGHT THERE! Step 10 to the rescue!

Do there seem to be more problems in life after sobering up than when in the madness? If so, what next?

What we put into our lives we get back EXACTLY as we put it in. 

We are only as sick as our secrets and, after taking the 4th and 5th Steps, we soon get to the 10th Step. This is a daily cleansing of our minds that makes us become and be happy, joyous, and free.

The only way to become an old drunk is to not drink and don't die

Spirituality is something that we live 24/7/365 and this makes us Happy, Joyous, and Free

How much control do I have in this world?
