Pancake Marathon: 

  • There are moments when I really look back at my past hurdles that I've overcome,  I say the hurdles because I had to put the work in to get over them:  essentially the way that I see what a trigger is; getting to letting the pain go. As that is why it's a marathon, I've only was able to overcome and get over what is a hurdle at that moment, seemingly a mountain when really it was just an ant hill, knowing that I would have to not stay there or I would be attacked by those ants:  it is an ant hill,  as what else is addiction:  something that is attacking me killing me slowly but surely;  upon the simple fact that putting the work in to Manifest this life of being able to take responsibility for my actions and keeping my peace of mind and not stealing anybody else's:  essentially is me as such as the marathon as it is rehydrating keep practicing the principles all my Affairs not resting on my Laurels my past actions as such.

NA Just For Today:   A New Vision 

  1. "Do we really want to be rid of our resentments, our anger, our fear?" Basic Text p. 33 

  2. Why do we call them "shortcomings?" Perhaps they should be called "long-goings" because that's often  what it takes for them to fade from our lives. Some of us feel that our shortcomings are the very  characteristics that saved our lives when we used. If this is true, then it is little wonder that we sometimes  cling to them like old, dear friends. 

  3. If we are having trouble with resentment, anger, or fear, we may want to envision what our lives could be  like without these troubling defects. Asking ourselves why we react in a certain manner can sometimes  root out the fear at the core of our conduct. "Why am I afraid to step beyond these aspects of my  personality?" we ask ourselves. "Am I afraid of who I will be without these attributes?"

  4. Once we have uncovered our fear, we are able to move beyond it. We try to imagine what our lives could  be like without some of our more glaring shortcomings. This gives us a feeling for what lies past our fear,  providing the motivation we need to push through it. Our Higher Power offers us a new vision for our  lives, free of our defects. That vision is the essence of our own best, brightest dreams for ourselves. We  need not fear that vision. 

  5. Just for today: I will imagine what my life would be like without my character defects. I will ask for the  willingness to have God remove my shortcomings.

Daily Reflections: THE "NUMBER ONE OFFENDER" 

  1. Resentment is the "number one" offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. From it stem all  forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually  sick. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 64 

  2. As I look at myself practicing the Fourth Step, it is easy to gloss over the wrong that I have done, because  I can easily see it as a question of "getting even" for a wrong done to me. If I continue to relive my old  hurt, it is a resentment and resentment bars the sunlight from my soul. 

  3. If I continue to relive hurts and hates, I will hurt and hate myself. After years in the dark of resentments, I  have found the sunlight. I must let go of resentments; I cannot afford them.
