“We make a living by what we get.
We make a life by what we give.” ~ Winston Churchill

Getting or giving, wanting or needing, life is an ebb and flow

of coming and going, what was, what is and what will be.

Sobriety is learning to live in the here and now and to be aware

of the people, places and things that flow through our lives.

Peace of mind is to accept and enjoy the feelings that arise as we

watch the parade of time as it passes us by.

Serenity is to sense the power of the Spirit of the Universe as

it energizes the soul with the love of being alive.

Happiness is giving the best of what you have to make this world a better place for all.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

“A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.” ~Benjamin Franklin

Selfish, self centered, egotistic, it is all about me, ties you

into a bundle whose knots can only be untied by a Higher Power.

Compounded by an addictive disease, over which we are powerless,

only adds to the number and tightness of the knots in the bundle.

How it works, in twelve easy steps, is to admit that we are

powerless, find a Higher Power of our understanding, clean house,

and get out of our small bundles and help another person.

Notice that there was a switch from I to We when there was

a desire to stop tying ourselves up into tighter knots.

Happiness is discovering the goodness hid inside our bundles.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
