ME and the Boss

“Every man’s life is a fairy tale written by God’s fingers.” ~ Hans Christian Andersen

“The Ugly Duckling,” is Andersen’s metaphor for the alcoholic

who is able to find recovery, one day at a time.

From the sot that no one wants to associate with, the one who

is scorned by others and the one who has no self esteem,

God’s fingers work their magic and the sot becomes a useful

and beautiful example of God’s handiwork.

Happiness is growing to fulfill God’s promise for being you.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss

“If the only tool you have is a hammer,

you tend to see every problem as a nail.” ~ Abraham Maslow

To the alcoholic, drinking is the hammer to solve all problems.

To the recovering ex-drinker, a problem is just a new

opportunity to make this world a better place for all.

To recover from chaos and dilemma learn to be kind,

loving, patient and tolerant and the person your

Higher Power expects you to be.

If you do not have the right tool for the job, ask a friend to help,

learn that life is not a choice between the lesser of two evils

but a chance to choose between the better of two goods.

Happiness is knowing which is the right tool for the job at hand.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
