February 7 Grow Up

“You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever.” ~ Germaine Greer

When the alcoholic/addict uses mind altering poisons

they emotional, mentally, morally and spiritually cease

growing and return to childish behaviors to justify their actions.

When the physical compulsion of the addiction is in control,

the abuser does not even bother to seek justifiable reasons

for their immaturity.

Growing up is hard to do, especially for the drunk.

Don’t drink, don’t use, don’t abuse and find a friend or two who

can guide you towards a path of living that is happy, joyous and free.

Find a Higher Power who will give you the strength to do the adult,

“next right thing”.

Happiness is acting your age.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss.


February 6 Short Drive


“It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never

had the courtesy to thank her for it.” ~ W. C. Fields

Excuses, excuses, excuses, there are none.

The man took a drink, then the drink took a drink,

and finally, the drink took the man.

Driving is not the problem,

it is the final destination that creates the dilemma.

To commence the drive back to sanity the alcoholic drinker

must practice complete abstinence and correct the

stinking thinking that drove them to the edge of desperation.

Happiness is being driven by the love of a Higher Power.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
