"Pray. But as soon as you open your eyes, play God."

                - August 5th,  Sarcastic Daily Meditations

In this episode I read from page 18 where it says that a person "properly armed with facts" concerning alcoholism can generally earn the trust of another alcoholic quickly, and until this happens, "little or nothing can be accomplished."

In this episode , I read an e-mail from a listener and discuss how I went through the Big Book in the way that really changed my life some thirty years ago. 

In this episode I read about self-sufficiency from the book, Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions.
It describes non-alcoholics as filled with fear and anger, and poetically opines that self-centeredness will destroy us.  I feel very fortunate that drinking bullied me into not living by self-propulsion.

For many years I believed deeply that God wanted me to be boring and constrained, forever doing things univiting or undesirable. 

Here I read from Emmet Fox, and from the Big Book, and I discuss my experience. 

People talk a lot about "unrealistic expectations."

In this episode I talk about perseverance, particularly in early sobriety. I discuss how many times I wanted to give up, how often I told myself I couldn't make it.  And how glad I am I continued to try. 

In this episode I talk about what ACA calls, "The Spiritual Bypass", where a person has an awakening but then doesn't actually demonstrate spiritual principles in their daily life through action. I share about my experience with doing just this many times in AA.
