Why make resolutions when AA has done it for us 76 years ago.
CONSISTENT; FOCUS; CONCRETE.[CFC]
Concrete -solid foundation program 12 steps.
Focus- no distractions especially money, property & prestige. Force the mind to act.
Consistent- keep doing the same thing over & over.
Whenever we are distracted remember CFC, we have a concrete program it works; we must focus on our program and nothing else; we must practice it consistently.
Consistent- keep doing the same thing over & over.
This has been so important in my own recovery, and It's what makes us successful one day at a time. It's imperitive for me to keep it simple and it's what I teach my pigeons when ever I am given the chance to. It's so easy to complicate things.
You always seem to have so many wonderful things to say, Thank you for sharing them.
