Chuck Bisesi - The wind whispered your name to me...
G> Please tell me it's gonna get better real soon. "Real
G> Soon"!!! ;-)
G> +++++++++++++++++++
CB> I've got some good news and some bad news.
CB> The good news is that it's gonna get better real soon.
CB> The bad news is I am a lier.
CB> I don't know what program you are in, but that doesn't matter. The
CB> truth is that recovery is progresive too. We didn't screw up our lives
CB> in a day and we aren't going to straighten our lives out over night.
CB> How fast things get better depends on how fast I am willing to make
CB> the changes in my life that allow it to get better.
CB> I am an alcoholic and how quickly I learned to live my life relying on
CB> God dictated how fast I was able to recover. I hear the "promises"
CB> quoted at many meeting I go to, but we tend to ignore the next line:
CB> "This thought brings us to Step Ten"
CB> The forward to the first edition of the BB says, "We, of Alcoholics
CB> Anonymous, are more than one hundred men and women who have recovered
CB> from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. To show other
CB> alcoholics precisely how we recovered is the main purpose of this
CB> book."
CB> BTW - I have a tape of a talk by Ruth Hock, Bills secretary. She says
CB> that when Bill gave her that part of the manuscript to type, she told
CB> him, "but Bill, there are only 97 of you."
CB> His answer was, "I know. But, over one hundred sounds better."
Thanks for sharing, Chuck...what you say is so true..we have to make the
changes first and then things seem to get a bit better..perhaps because
our view point has changed..not the worlds..
Light, Love and Laughter
