The Good And The Bad
“My Creator, I
am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad.” ALCOHOLICS
ANONYMOUS, p. 76
The joy of life is in the giving. Being freed of my shortcomings, that I may more freely be of service, allows humility to grow in me. My shortcomings can be humbly placed in God’s loving care and be removed. The essence of Step Seven is humility, and what better way to seek humility than by giving all of myself–good and bad–to God, so that He may remove the bad and return to me the good.

My thoughts on July 22nd Reading
Sharing Experience Strengths and Hope, I can't think of a
better way to given back what was so freely given to me thru the program, I am
grateful for this and all of the 12 steps given to me in my recovery
I had to walk thru my fears and hopelessness to find a new
way of live with out the fears, this required a look into my past ways, it was
hard to walk thru all the hopelessness and despair, the fear was so great I
knew I needed help to do this
Thank God for my sponsor's help today I am grateful that my
past will always be with me, my old way life will always remind me how much I
had to change and how important it is to freely give all this back
To those who are willing to start over again, learning the
12 steps they need to take for a new way of life to become loving useful
members in recovery with a grateful positive attitude toward change
We all need to become a part of the fellowship, or we could
all be separated from the program, so action is a must to given back what we
have today, I do not have any more tunnel vision
The narrow mindlessness that could destroy everything I have
been given in recovery
Focusing on any one little thing by itself, I lose the
beauty of the whole picture so I always stay focused on my recovery or I will
loose focus on everything else in life
I remain forever grateful for what God in His grace has given
me and for the entire blessing He has given everyone in recovery, gratitude is
an action words we hear around the halls,
Its to show people
you are grateful not to tell them your grateful take the action get active in
your program and God will keep given you the tools to reach out and help
yourself
God sure has given me a life full of hope, love, and
understanding, I am most thankful of all that He forgave me and taught me how
to forgive others
God bless you Al M
