Daily Recovery Quotes – December 20

December 20, 2014 by Jeannette

December 20

AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote

In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don’t struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while. – Pg. 86 – Into Action

Hour To Hour – Book – Quote

Any of us who feel insecure, inferior, or unattractive may think we drink and take other drugs to counteract this. We do drugs compulsively BECAUSE we are addicted and not for other reasons; other reasons are only rationales.

May I understand that fixing the ‘rationales’ in my life will not stop my disease. Not picking up will stop alcoholism and other addictions.

The Power is in the Now

There is magic in this moment. All of the creative power in this radiant universe is in the present, in the here and now. The present is alive and vibrant. If I align myself with the present, if I allow myself to fully experience this moment, I will find all that I need in it. And I will be templating what I experience next. Quantum physics tells me that all is alive and issues from the same source. What I experience now, creates my future. I am part of God’s plan, part of the one, creative mind.

There is nothing like the present

– Tian Dayton PhD

Pocket Sponsor – Book – Quote

How long does it take to clear away the wreckage of our past? In the Northwest region of the U.S., Native Americans have a special saying, ‘How long does it take to clear a landslide? One rock at a time.’

I remove the landslide of my past, one rock at a time.

“Walk Softly and Carry a Big Book” – Book

Try to improve the wreckage of the present.

Time for Joy – Book – Quote

Today I know I am powerless over all the addictions, obsessions, compulsions and dependencies in my life. Today I am willing to let them go to a power greater than myself.

Alkiespeak – Book – Quote

Look to the sun and the shadows fall behind. – Anon.
