A New Attitude
We have ceased fighting anything or anyone -- even alcohol.
For by this time sanity has returned.
We can now react sanely and normally,
and we find that this new attitude toward liquor is really a gift of God.
- As Bill Sees It, p. 121
Thought to Ponder . . .
Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Altered Attitudes.

I'm Paula, an alcoholic. When I was very new to the program, a fellow I used to "do business with" offered me some free product. I told him I was sober and recited slogan after slogan at him. He said I was brain-washed. I thought about that, then said I was grateful I had a brain left to be washed. My thinking isn't always rosy and bright, but it just isn't “stinkin’ thinkin’” anymore. I live a good life even though it is filled with tons of physical pain. However, I have my face-to-face meetings and all of you to give me strength and help my thinking to stay sane. Stay safe, all. Thanks for letting me share.
