Step 12 quote

“The sum of life is too be their, to show up; if your willing, it can be yours to then give away freely.”

Maybe that's the key, we can call it now moment okay I haven't yet still we can call it the simple fact of starting; starting something, showing up to just be a witness to it sometimes essentially to say in the simplest matter of fact of what is life: within being Able to carry a message. sometimes it's simply as what is able to keep you going within this moment upon to the next moment, to always be able to keep her peace of mind because you didn't steal anybody else's: it's in that that willingness to just do the right thing to live life and it's moment of the now; seeing that ultimately, the key is to show up and to just simply be able to carry a message.

Trust is what builds us up to the point in being able to think, Although we are not responsible for our disease we are responsible for our recovery: as the same as we are not as Started it's how we finish, yes maybe we reacted and not the most Pleasant way, and still it's how we finish it's how we get back up to not be a visitor in AA; for life is about the level of being able to have this as what is the way that we act instead of react: Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. Live and Let Live maybe the slogan and still the same as Let go and let God, as it has to always be starting with you Letting It Begin With yourself; letting yourself have the willingness to let yourself have a chance to show up for the miracle: but seen by the words as wisdom,

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. --- Ernest Hemingway
It's hard to listen in a complete way. Often we listen, but we're still thinking about ourselves. We wonder, "How do their words relate to me? Do I have anything to add?" Often, fear is behind these questions. We fear saying the wrong thing. We fear looking stupid. Good listeners know how to let go of their fears. To
listen completely, we step outside ourselves, and we're totally there for someone else. Sometimes we listen for only a few moments. Sometimes we don't even agree with the people we're listening to. But we let them know that they count. What a gift we give when we listen in a complete way!
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, teach me to listen in a complete way. Teach me to step outside myself and be their for others.
Action for the Day: Today, I'll listen to what the person says.

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die. --Eleanor Roosevelt
We need to take note, today, of all the opportunities we have to offer a helping hand to another person. We can notice too, the many times a friend, or even a stranger, reaches out to us in a helpful way. The opportunities to contribute to life's flow are unending.
Our own vibrancy comes from involvement with others, from contributing our talents, our hearts to one another's daily travels. The program helps us to know that God lives in us, among us. When we close ourselves off from our friends, our fellow travelers, we block God's path to us and through us.
To live means sharing one another's space, dreams, sorrows, contributing our ears to hear, our eyes to see, our arms to hold, our hearts to love. When we close ourselves off from each other--we have destroyed the vital contribution we each need to make and to receive in order to nurture life.
We each need only what the other can give. Each person we meet today needs our special contribution. What a wonderful collection of invitations awaits me today!

It would be a product of false pride to claim that A.A. is a cure-all, even for alcoholism. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 285
In my early years of sobriety I was full of pride, thinking that A.A. was the only source of treatment for a good and happy life. It certainly was the basic ingredient for my sobriety and even today, with over twelve years in the program, I am very involved in meetings, sponsorship and service. During the first four years of my recovery, I found it necessary to seek professional help, since my emotional health was extremely poor. There are those folks too, who have found sobriety and happiness in other organizations. A.A. taught me that I had a choice: to go to any lengths to enhance my sobriety. A.A. may not be a cure all for everything, but it is the center of my sober living.

"Many of us understand God to be simply whatever force keeps us clean." Basic Text, p. 25
Some of us enter recovery with a working understanding of a Higher Power. For a lot of us, however, "God" is a troublesome word. We may doubt the existence of any sort of Power greater than ourselves. Or we may remember uncomfortable experiences with religion and shy away from "the God stuff."
Starting over in recovery means we can start over in our spiritual life, too. If we're not comfortable with what we learned when we were growing up, we can try a different approach to our spirituality. We don't have to understand everything all at once or find the answers to all our questions right away. Sometimes it's enough just to know that other NA members believe and that their belief helps keep them clean.
Just for today: All I have to know right now about my Higher Power is that it is the Power that helps keep me clean.
