AA is full of paradoxes. Our great Victory came as a result of our unconditional surrender; because we fell we are able to lift others; because of our mental, moral and spiritual illness we attained a health we never had in our alcoholic days; because we were social outcasts we have become the hope of society. Alcoholism, which was our weakness, has indeed become our strength. ~The Eye Opener
You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else's life.
Heard at a local jail meeting (from someone who got sober while incarcerated):
"Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. It you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you always have acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind." Be aware of your thoughts and how they affect you! Have a wonderful, MINDFUL day! ~ PBNPB (MN)
"The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks." - Christopher Hitchens

Daily Reflection
TRUE TOLERANCE
The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 139
I first heard the short form of the Third Tradition in the Preamble. When I came to A.A. I could not accept myself, my alcoholism, or a Higher Power. If there had been any physical, mental, moral, or religious requirements for membership, I would be dead today. Bill W. said in his tape on the Traditions that the Third Tradition is a charter for individual freedom. The most impressive thing to me was the feeling of acceptance from members who were practicing the Third Tradition by tolerating and accepting me. I feel acceptance is love and love is God's will for us.

Pot Luck
These are twelve attributes of personal character that continued practice of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and our continued Spiritual Fitness will bring to us, the "Recovered" Alcoholic.
