a daily medatation book

[hippy]

a daily medatation book is agreat tool in the begining of recovery as well always.
i have mentioned it before, na has a daily reading book, it is callede just for today, today medatation is on making ammends
by the way ammends is somthing  that can waiy  don't rush into
making amends, most new people think they need to do a fourth step and an 8 step make amends, .
step one is always the place to start, acceptance of the truth
i am an addict , i have used aginst my will, ,i have hurt people i love
aginst my will , meaning that is not what i wanted to do.

anyway back to  a daily medatation book my fav is ( each day is a new beginning ) it always seemed that that little book was right on time, inspireing me just when i need it., when ever i thought i was done with staying clean ,i would read  a medatation that would help me get back on track, it was like a miricle.
hazelden sells them as well as barnes and noble. they are in the misnamed self help area of the book stores.

if it is not practical it is not spirtual.!

humilty means being who we are and not who we think we are.!

it is not what we used that makes us an addict but why we used.!

unconditional love is allowing others to make mistakes
and still accept them and provide encouragement. !

a mature conscience is aware of it's motives

peace!!!!!!!!! and good day

I totally did not to pick on Hippy.  I thought a lot about mentioning the spelling.  I just want to understand him.  And I do think he's very thoughtful and insightful.  I don't even think it's a matter of spelling, it's just typos.
Please don't be mad at me.

you are correct, i just have to go a little slower and check
my grammer, and i will take the time to do it , and i know
you have a sweet heart , and are caring.
i hope you have a wonderful  rest of the day
the same goes for groovy.
you guys are good people.
peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If a person is in a profession where drug use is checked and licensure is required is it considered "safe" to attend these groups?  Can someone lose thier livlihood?  Is there trust?  I have never been to one.  I have been addicted all alone for over 10 years.
Thx

Michael... (if that's your REAL name...)

I didn't know that you were one of the "Immortals" -- No wonder you have a vast repository of knowledge....

I quote you....

"i had to go to clevland to find a sponser in 1885 who knew what was up."

Assuming you were at least a teenager at the time of the meeting in Cleveland.... You are at least 130 Years old. NOW I get it. Wisdom comes from age AND Experience....

Just kidding, Hipster....

I try to put my writing through the old Microsoft
