Today's Thought: I discuss everything with my sponsor, I talk with the people in the rooms, and especially the individuals in my home group. I also discuss and gain advice from people outside AA -- other people whom I admire -- and I talk with my counselor about what's good or bad for me. I am lucky to have a well-rounded base to gain knowledge, advice, and support. Submitted By: A.E.W. |

Today's Thought: There have been times that I felt like using and drinking. Although the compulsion has been lifted years ago, the thought would still come from time to time. But, I had kept going to meetings long enough, that when times got tough, I just kept going, until the pain of living had passed. Submitted By: Cindy S. |

Today's Thought: I found meetings helpful in the sense that I needed someplace to be other than in bars and some of the other more seedy places I hung out. I had no socialization skills, so for me it was a good place to start. Submitted By: Bette |

Today's Thought: I know my husband is hitting rock bottom. I believe it's because I left him to his own behaviour. Because I'm not pecking at him anymore for drinking, he's left with the guilt of it all. When I do peck at him, he always has a good reason to drink. Al-Anon is the only reason I am still with him.

Today's Thought: I cannot make changes on the basis of my willpower. If I could, I would have already done it. Or as I heard an old timer say the other day, I cannot think my way into good living, I must live my way into good thinking. This step reminds me today to stop trying so hard, to stay open to the learning that is available. Submitted By: Feel It |
If there is one truth to remember in recovery, this is it! It was my thinking that got me to the doors of recovery, not the substance that I picked up. It is why I picked it up in the first place. mj
