April 22 Complicated ?

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”  ~ Confucius

Don’t think, don’t drink and go to meetings.

Be kind.

Be loving.

Be patient and tolerant.

Be the person that your Higher Power wants you to be.

Avoid mean people.

Do not go to evil places.

Do not do those things which cause guilt and shame.

Happiness is Keeping It Simple in Sobriety.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

April 21 Perceived Differently

If you change the way you look at things,
the things you look at change.”
~ Wayne Dyer

The benefit of doing the fourth step of the twelve steps

of AA is that we are given a chance to see ourselves differently.

We learn to see what part we had to play in our actions and how

much the alcoholic addiction had to do with making our decisions.

Stress, anxiety, fear and anger are but a few of the misguided emotions

we used to justify our behaviors, to enable alcohol to control our lives.

The difference is kindness, love, patience and tolerance and

a dependence on a faith in a Higher Power to enjoy an emotionally

serene life that is beyond our wildest dreams.

Same life, same you, different perspective.

Happiness is learning to perceive differently.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
