AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote
Live and let live is the rule. If you both show a willingness to remedy your own defects, there will be little need to criticize each other. – Pg. 118 – To Wives

Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
Vengeance sometimes seems the only way to get back at those who’ve hurt us. But we’ve found the best vengeance is living well, practicing our principles, and letting our Higher Power take care of the offenders.
May I recognize and internalize that vengeance is an attribute of addiction, not recovery.
Joy
Today I will embrace the experience of joy. The real purpose of life isn’t to grab and get, to preen and try to out do the next guy. The real purpose of life is to deepen my ability to experience joy. Joy is the gift. Joy is the accomplishment. Joy is what fills me up. When I am able to feel joy, I don’t need to chase around trying to get the world to admire and envy me on the outside because I feel empty on the inside. When I feel joy, I am happy in my own life because I understand that it is the only one that is actually mine to live, the only one through which I can connect with spirit.

Pocket Sponsor – Book – Quote
Whatever vexes you currently, imagine for a moment what could make it worse. What can make it worse than that? Again. Imagine it, feel it, and come back to now. If you can make it worse, then you can make it better. Remember this: you are not helpless before your feelings.
I am stronger at what I’m doing, than my feelings are at what they’re doing.
