A Changed Outlook
Our
whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84
When
I was drinking, my attitude was totally selfish, totally self-centered; my
pleasure and my comfort came first. Now that I am sober, self-seeking has
started to slip away. My whole attitude toward life and other people is
changing. For me, the first “A” in our name stands for attitude. My attitude is
changed by the second “A” in our name, which stands for action. By working the
Steps, attending meetings, and carrying the message, I can be restored to
sanity. Action is the magic word! With a positive, helpful attitude and regular
A.A. action, I can stay sober and help others to achieve sobriety. My attitude
now is that I am willing to go to any length to stay sober!

My
thoughts on June 1st Reading
I became willing to change in recovery, change everything
about my attitudes; with out any more conflicts towards life, friends, family,
people, places, and things, I sure needed a serious changed outlook on my
attitudes
My attitude was always my biggest problem about the
conflicts I was engaged in, yes a real changed outlook on my life was needed, I
was always a user of people, I could use anyone for any of my needs at any time
I would take advantage with out looking back to see it they
got hurt in the process, to tell the truth it just did not matter to me, as
long as I got what I wanted from them, my bottle booze was more important to me
Than family, friends, work, or anything else I was
completely bankrupt when I entered the halls, today I have a completely changed
outlook on all my life, I pray that I may always remember where I came from and
in what condition I was in
The HOW of this program are Honesty, Open-mindedness, and
Willingness to change, I had to practice willingness by staying close to
program people and working with others, God is in charge of the whole universe
today
Not me I am ruler of nothing today, I have found a loving
forgiven God, I really do understand today, I am willing to share Him with
anyone who wants our way of life, God works thru people
Who are willing to have a changed outlook on their attitudes
about how they use to live, the people God put into my life gave me that
unconditional love, they all seemed to, have always just wanting just to help
me thru hard times
They never expecting anything in return, well thanks to the
twelve steps of recovery I now can give back what was so freely given to me,
your all welcome to use my Higher Power until you find the one of your own
understanding
God gave me the willingness, to let go of old habits,
willingness to find sobriety, I know I go nowhere without God walking beside me
today, life is good a changed out look for me is life with God, as I understand
Him
God bless you Al M
