Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
Just for today, live in the now. It’s a 24 hour program and you only have to worry about this hour. This hour you are clean and in the right place looking for and accepting help.
Grant me the patience to accept this hour of abstinence without reservation.
It’s the Little Things
It’s the little things that count, that add up to make a life, that weave themselves into the fabric of my day and make it feel whole. My morning routines, the activities of my day the people I encounter and share my time with. Little things like a pleasant walk, exercise, my daily errands and even eating my favorite foods all come together to make my day. As I move through my day today, I will take time to notice and be grateful for whatever gives me pleasure. I will say a quiet thank you for all that life is handing me.
I have an Attitude of Gratitude

Pocket Sponsor – Book – Quote
Everyday in our lives is not going to be perfect just because we are not drinking or drugging. The best way we know of to treat PMS (Poor Me Syndrome) is get rid of the words ‘It ain’t fair’ and ‘Why me?’
God does not owe me happiness because I no longer am an intolerant, abusive, self-centered, practicing addict.
