ME and the Boss

“Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need;

the remainder is needed by others.” ~ Saint Augustine

When given sobriety the alcoholic must be grateful

to a Higher Power for their second chance to live a life

that is happy, joyous and free.

To pass along their experience, strength and hope to another

sufferer allows one to grow in honesty, open-mindedness

and willingness, the three principles of spirituality.

If you do not have it, you cannot give it.

If you do not give it, you cannot keep it.

Happiness is giving as much as you can,

knowing you will get more in return.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

“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.
