Some quotes/remarks I’ve seen around…
‘you get well by thinking of what you can do for others. not by self obsessing’.
“OUR VERY LIVES, as ex-problem drinkers, depend upon our CONSTANT thought of others and how we may help meet their needs. p20″
“For if an alcoholic failed to perfect and enlarge his spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, he could NOT survive the CERTAIN trials and low spots ahead. p14″
ps this is NOT!!!!!!!! about being a doormat.
’experience is that 3 to 5% succeed in staying sober longer than 10 years, so i have never been interested in what the ‘majority’ do…unless you want to end up like the other 95% you have to be prepared to not succumb to peer pressure and ‘follow the crowd’…
The covenant…
I am no longer my own but yours.
Your will, not mine, be done in all things,
wherever you may place me,
in all that I do and in all that I may endure;
when there is work for me and when there is none;
when I am troubled and when I am at peace.
Your will be done
when I am valued and when I am disregarded;
when I find fulfilment and when it is lacking;
when I have all things, and when I have nothing.
I willingly offer all I have and am to serve you, as and where you choose.
Glorious and blessèd God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
you are mine and I am yours.
May it be so for ever.
Let this covenant now made on earth
be fulfilled in heaven. Amen.
