A.A. also helps us to hang onto sobriety. By having regular meetings so that we can associate with other alcoholics who have come through that same door in the wall, by encouraging us to tell the story of our own sad experiences with alcohol, and by showing us how to help other alcoholics, A.A. keeps us sober. Our attitude toward life changes from one of pride and selfishness to one of humility and gratitude. Am I going to step back through that door in the wall to my old helpless, hopeless, drunken life?
Meditation for the Day
Withdraw into the calm of communion with God. Rest in that calm and peace. When the soul finds its home of rest in God, then it is that real life begins. Only when you are calm and serene can you do good work. Emotional upsets make you useless. The eternal life is calmness and when you enter into that, then you live as an eternal being. Calmness is based on complete trust in God. Nothing in this world can separate you from the love of God.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may wear the world like a loose garment. I pray that I may keep serene at the center of my being.

Years ago, Little green leapers-- shot after shot. I thought the green man was ok. Die your hair green, paint your body green and see how much green shit you could drink. Why not?
Plattsburg Ny-- Playboys place to be in the late 70's -- I was there. Never forget the past. How could I? Insane Phil? Whats that? Geee and I thought it was what everybody was doing. Maybe a little corned beef and cabbage today, good enough for this guy.
Well, I hate to tell you this...but that is very weird behaviour...if us Aussie's tried that on we'd be locked up for sure...or at very least locked out of the pub..
Green beer, yes we have that once a year...but I've never seen anyone paint themselves green. Are you sure folks really do that, or were you just thinking the little green man was you?
Very worried about this...
