When I can do this my alcoholic thinking is remarkably quiet and my world

completely transformed.

And when I can't do this it's because

I gave myself some bullshit permission

not to.

I can't do it perfectly,

but I can do it.

5 Quotes by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remain true to yourself, but move ever upward toward greater consciousness and greater love! At the summit you will find yourselves united with all those who, from every direction, have made the same ascent. For everything that rises must converge.

 

 

Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.

Shooters: Quick shots from Meetings

 

 

 

 

 

When I was arrested I had enough drugs on me for the charges to automatically be filed under those they use against dealers. It was something like "possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute." But I assured anyone who would listen, from the arresting officers to the judge, that there had been absolutely no intent to distribute -- I hated sharing! Those drugs were all for me.

 

 

only if I stay sober

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taking personal responsibility.

Making choices.

I am only capable of that if I stay sober.

Certainly that may not be true of all people,

but I know as an alcoholic in recovery that it is

very much true for me.

 

Preach, sister.
