AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote

Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
We have been known to think that dishonesty with others was OK as long as it didn’t ‘hurt’ them. We really don’t know what will hurt another or not. Being dishonest with other people deprives them of the information they need to run their own lives.
Honesty is honesty. Let me understand that ‘little’ dishonesties are a disservice to others as well as myself.
Accepting Caring from Others
I will soak up any extra attention that I get while I’m not feeling up to par. Even if I don’t need it at the moment, I will soak it into my pores and store it up for a time when I do need it. I will let the attention feel good. I will allow it to restore my faith in and affection for people. I enjoy the little things people are willing to do for me, going a bit out of their way, worrying about how I’m doing. It feels good if I let it. It restores me if I willing to feel good.
Feeling grateful for what is coming my way has a healing power all its own.

Time for Joy – Book – Quote
Today I will stop and ask, ‘How important is it?’
When I find myself defending or trying to prove my point, I am in the process of learning to trust my own truth. When it feels right inside, I am seeing that it is all I need.
