Not Saints Yet
This member finds hope by not leaving out the possibility of one day becoming a saint. This morning in my meeting, we read from Chapter 5 of Alcoholics Anonymous, which is occasionally referred to in AA meetings as “the preamble”.
Work, Work, Work, Work…
Without God, I can’t; Without me, God won’t (SA 96) In Step One, I admitted that I was powerless over lust and that my life was unmanageable.This is absolutely true, but my sponsor reminds me that I have to work my SA program.
The Insanity of a Thought
He realized that a business conversation that expresses interest in a woman without intentions to follow up is lust.
Stick With the Winners
He learned the true meaning of what it means to be a winner. I’ve never loved that saying because I was a chronic slipper.
No Less a Man
He realized that following the experience of others didn’t diminish his manhood; it helped him live up to it.
I Want to Recover!
Integrity has to be practiced in every aspect of his life. I’ve been seeing ads on social media offering a huge collection of books about psychology, therapy, healing, motivation, and self-improvement for only 100 Mexican pesos.
Because I Belong
He discovered that by living in the Steps, he found a spiritual home for himself in SA.
I Knew I Was Coming to Help
When choosing between meditation to know God’s will and helping the person in need, God’s will was immediately revealed.
Striving for Positive Sobriety
Practicing the 12 Step solution allows her to come into recovery and experience pain without numbing out.
A Road to True Happiness
She often forgets that being happy happens on the inside and not on the outside. I often tell newcomers, so they know it is part of the process, that it is okay to feel the pain of quitting lust. I also tell them that it is not me who stopped or quit lust.
