Thought for the Day
Oct 14 2013
So what makes A.A. work anyway? The first thing is to have an extreme dislike and hostility towards myself and the way I live. Then I have to admit I am helpless, that alcohol and or drugs control me and I can’t do anything about it. The next thing is to honestly want to quit my old life. Then I must surrender my life to a Higher Power; put my drinking and my drug use in my Higher Powers hands and to leave it there. After I have done these things I must attend A.A. meetings regularly for fellowship and sharing.
If I help others in A.A. it will only help me.
Am I doing these things?

The Lighthouse saved my life. I was willing to do whatever it takes to learn how to live a new way of life. Before I came into the program I was a hollow shell just wanting to die.. The staff loved me until I could love myself, and taught me how to deal with myself. I have a...

When the time came in my recovery to apologize to and make amends with all of the people I hurt during my using, I expected I would finally be free of all of the guilt I carried.
It didn't quite work out that way.

After I hit my bottom and came into recovery I realized that I had super low self-esteem, and that those feelings would need to change somehow. I thought once I got sober that it would be a piece of cake. After all, my drinking was what caused all of my problems.
I was clueless.
