The whole secret of happiness is to be interested in a lot of things…
Remember well and bear in mind.
A good - true friend is hard to find.
And when you find one who is good and true.
Don't trade him off for one who is new.
Remember well and bear in mind.
That a life of sobriety is hard to find.
Now that you have it - stop and think.
Before you reach for that first drink.
The joys of sobriety are many and great.
But take one drink and many hearts you'll break.
The heartaches, hangovers, remorse and pain.
I'm sure we don't want to experience again.
So in all sincerity I say to you friend.
MAY YOUR LIFE OF SOBRIETY NEVER END.

AFFIRMATIONS - LIVING DAY BY DAY
1. It is a victory, not a failure, to admit that I cannot control my
problems, for then I can turn to a higher power and begin to find
serenity.
2. It is constructive to take an honest look at myself, face the true
feelings and communicate honestly.
3. It is an act of courage, not shame, to admit any wrong i've done
and ask forgiveness of God, myself and others.
4. It is healthy to accept and love myself, and to let others love me,
because like everyone else, I'am worthy and deserving of love and a
good life.
5. It is O.K. to trust myself and others, I can be responsible for
myself, as others can be for themselves.
6. It is possible for me to be happy, since happiness depends on myself
and my attitude, not on things or other people.
7. It is possible for me to recover, If I believe I can and I'm willing
to take the necessary action for change.
8. It is better to set realistic goals for change; I can accomplish them
one step at a time and one day at a time. I can't do it all, or do it
perfectly, but I can do something. If I fail, It's okay - there's no
failure except in not trying.
9. It is all right to set limits to keep myself sane and serene. It's
okay to let things go that cannot be changed or do not matter.
10. It is good to take the time to stay in touch with myself and God
through prayer and meditation.
