February 8

The Worst Man

“The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk,
they are sober.” ~ William Butler Yeats

What is the use of sobering up if you are going to be

a mean, stupid and ugly person.

Learn to use sobriety as a way to find the kind, loving, patient and tolerant

person that is hiding in your heart, the person your Higher Power wants you to be.

Stop the pretensions, drop the grandiose, stuff the arrogance

and let the fun and laughter of family and friends allow you to become

an enjoyable sober person, one that makes others want what you have.

Happiness is sobering up to find that a nice person lives inside of you.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

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.
