March 18    Pink Cloud                                                     



“I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.” ~ Elizabeth Taylor

Many who stop drinking and drugging and seek to recover from their affliction

discover euphoria, a sense of well being, a new sense of awareness, and many

other good feelings that the old timers best describe as being on a pink cloud.

Please be advised, life, with all of its ups and downs, will go on in

spite of your feelings and/or the color of the lenses in your glasses.

Learn to listen to those who have gone before you and place yourself

on solid spiritual ground if you wish to continue to be sober.

Have faith in a Higher Power who will not let you fall.

Happiness is living in the clouds with silver linings.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss


MARCH 17            Perfectionism

Perfectionism is the enemy of creation,as extreme self-solitude
is the enemy of well-being.” ~ John Updike



Some of the symptoms of the disease of alcoholism/addiction

are that the sufferer wants to isolate, be alone, push away

anyone who loves them, and to kill themselves because they

believe they are not perfect.

Recovery requires other people.

You are never too old to learn to be sociable.

Seek a Higher Power who can restore you to sanity and

know that He will speak to you through other people.

Today will be different from yesterday, so be willing to be imperfect,

seek your sanity, and strengthen your recovery by being social

with friends who know how to help each other.

Happiness is having imperfect friends who know which way is up.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
