driven to maudlin sympathy, to bitter resentment. Some
of us veered from extreme to extreme, ever hoping that one
day our loved ones would be themselves once more.
Our loyalty and the desire that our husbands hold up their
heads and be like other men have begotten all sorts of predicaments.
We have been unselfish and self-sacrificing. We have told
innumerable lies to protect ...

to the wives 1 2/7/2007
With few exceptions, our book thus far has spoken of men.
But what we have said applies quite as much to women. Our
activities in behalf of women who drink are on the increase.
There is every evidence that women regain their health
as readily as men if they try our suggestions.
But for every man who drinks others are involved–the wife
who trembles in fear of the next ...

invariably they got drunk. Having persevered with the
rest of the program, they wondered why they fell. We think
the reason is that they never completed their housecleaning.
They took inventory all right, but hung on to some of the
worst items in stock. They only thought they had lost their
egoism and fear; they only thought they had humbled themselves.
But they had not learned enough ...

AVING MADE our personal inventory, what shall we do about
it? We have been trying to get a new attitude, a new relationship
with our Creator, and to discover the obstacles in our path.
We have admitted certain defects; we have ascertained
in a rough way what the trouble is; we have put our finger
on the weak times in our personal inventory. Now these are
about to be cast out. This ...

Bill 1/30/2007
WAR FEVER ran high in the New England town to which we new,
young officers from Plattsburg were assigned, and we were
flattered when the first citizens took us to their homes,
making us feel heroic. Here was love, applause, war; moments
sublime with intervals hilarious. I was part of life at
last, and in the midst of the excitement I discovered liquor.
I forgot the strong warnings and ...

Emotional sobriety 1/30/2007
Emotional sobriety is when:
1. I am free of resentments, jealousy, and envy--and free
to forgive quickly.
2. My emotions are not so violent that they cause me to go
or be on a dry drunk.
3. I am able to make normal everyday decisions without my
vision being unduly influenced by my emotions.
4. I am able to identify & live by my personal values
without compromise ...

Evenong Prayer 1/30/2007
Dear God,
Thank you for another day sober.
Please show me where today
I subtly tried to control and judge people.
Where was I outspoken, self righteous, self important?
Did I offer advice not asked for in friendship or fellowship?
Did I talk more than I listened?
Was I selfish, dishonest, angry or fearful?
Do I owe an apology?
Was I kind and loving to all?

Good morning
God,
Please direct my thinking today and remind me

To practice patience, tolerance and love.
To say many many times
Thy will not mine be done.
We both know God that I control and judge
and I can’t stop it
so I will leave me to you to change
and I will get out of your way
by spending my day thinking of

Where have all the good Dr.'s gone 1/5/2007
Today we sure have a shortage of good Dr. Does anyone really
wonder why we can't find a Dr. like our parents had some

they always came to our place...so why would it be so different
nowadays--you can't find one that will come to your

Assumptions 11/11/2006
In the chatroom tonight someone commented (and I am paraphrasing)
that when she saw that someone was "married"
and "looking for a girlfriend who could be discreet",
she knew the person wasn't being honest.
This made me think about how our experiences and beliefs
can color our assumptions.
I believe the woman who who made the comment is monogamous
and I understand why ...

My little bird 9/4/2006
My little bird watches over me
As I sleep at night.
He wakes me with his singing
With the coming of morning light.
He perches on a tree limb
That is right outside my room.
His lilting song helps cheer me
And chases away my gloom.
During the day he flits around
Flying from tree to tree.
Always singing his little song
I know he's watching over me.

Can raise that shade higher and let the sun shine through
So when you feel despondent, sorrowful and sad
