when we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the spirit of the universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God.  Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did.

attraction rather than promotion.


when i used the message that the lord had sent to us in my every day life my life got easier.  no need to feed into the negativity that is in our daily life, for that to me is part of my insanity.


to live in to live in the solution rather than the problem is a far better use of time, therefore i believe that step two is so vital.  the powers greater than myself does far better in my life than i do alone.   have a blessed day

I remember years ago coming into AA for the first time( i'm a 2 timer) the word god turned my stomach. I guess probably because, he didn't give me the things I wanted. I knew i was alky ok, but why me?  How could I live and not drink?  I always believed there was a power that kept me alive and out of alot of scrapes. I prayed to come back into AA, I knew it was the only thing that was going to help me. I was given the humility to walk back thru the doors.  I knew i was powerless (Step 1) I knew there was a power (step 2)  And i was ready to turn my will over, if only to the group to start with. ( step 3)  However i immediately began praying and talking to god on a regular basis,and my obsession just left. there I was ready to redo a formal 4th  A POWER GREATER THAN MYSELF????  I would say so!!!  Back on the road of recorvery--gratefully!!!


IT WORKS IF U WORK IT--- GOD BLESS U ALL
