ME and the Boss

“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.

“Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.” ~ Voltaire

Lying, cheating, stealing, drinking alcohol and other poisons,

abusing drugs and committing immoral indiscretions are obviously

bad things to do.

However, it is just as wrong, just as bad and we are just as guilty

as the evil mean people when we fail to act on the opportunity

to do good.

Do not go out seeking good to do, have faith, a loving Higher Power

will give you more than enough chances to do good

if your heart is in the right place.

Be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant and you will do

so much good that you will never have to feel guilty.

Happiness is not missing a chance to do good.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
