Women Are Not Different
I am one of the many women that has been restored to sanity through the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I began drinking at the age of 17 years, and found alcohol to be a wonderful stimulant which enabled me to feel relaxed in any given situation. Whether alone, or in a crowd, I have always felt inwardly isolated from people and alcohol managed to break down this barrier, for brief periods of time.
Being restless by nature, I searched always for the excitements that life could bring and alcohol was always my companion. But Alcohol was a temporary solution to my problem. Since coming to AA in January 74, I’ve learned th...

AA Humility
Humility – the most misunderstood virtue in the Fellowship of AA.
To many AA’s the humble invoke a picture of a plainly dressed self-deprecating person, admitting to the possession of no particular talent’ usually taking the last inconspicuous place and being a doormat for everyone.
This certainly is not a true picture of a humble person.
No, if you are looking for a person who has true humility in the Fellowship of AA, look for a person who is at ease with his Higher Power, his fellow alcoholic and himself. He does not try to ingratiate himself with the famous or wealthy. He has developed great tolerance, patien...

Twisted morality ;-)
Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me either.
Just pretty much leave me alone.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
It’s always darkest before dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbor’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it.
Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try m...

Spirituality Defined
Spirituality is a word used in an abundance of contexts that means
different things for
different people at
different times in
different cultures.
Although expressed through religions, art, nature and the built environment for centuries, recent expressions of spirituality have become more varied and diffuse.
This is reflected in the range of language used to describe spirituality. Some of the more common themes describe it using one or more of the following elements:
a sense of purpose
a sense of ‘connectedness’ – to self, others, nature, ‘God’ or Other
a quest for wholeness
a search for hope or harmony
a bel...

Live With Enthusiasm
Youth is a state of mind, your only as young as you think and feel; your spiritual age depends on your attitude.
By – Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life. It’s a state of mind. It’s a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigour of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite for adventure over love of ease.
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair – these bow the head and turn the growin...

Recovery Creed – Just For To-Day
JUST FOR TO-DAY
Russ Tyson, well-known Australian radio and TV personality, in his 1973 book “The Best of Russ Tyson” (Melbourne : Lansdowne) with the subtitle of “Alcoholics Creed” sets out the nine paragraphs of JUST FOR TO-DAY,
Many non-alcoholics who have read this feel that there is a good philosophy there for everyone alcoholic or not.
Long before I seriously tried to understand and practice AA’s Twelve Steps, these nine paragraphs helped me tidy up my thinking, quieted my behaviour and lifted my attitude by following one paragraph each day
In each paragraph there is the positive “I will do somethin...

Sex Drive: How Do Men and Women Compare?
This article may help answer some questions about libido.
Birds do it, bees do it, and men do it any old time. But women will only do it if the candles are scented just right — and their partner has done the dishes first. A stereotype, sure, but is it true? Do men really have stronger sex drives than women?
Well, yes, they do. Study after study illustrates that men’s sex drives are not only stronger than women’s, but much more straightforward. The sources of women’s libidos, by contrast, are much more difficult to pin down.
It’s common wisdom that women place more value on emotional connectio...

A Letter from Bill Wilson
Bill Wilson replied personally to letters from many Alcoholics Anonymous members.
Seven Years Before He Died Bill W Wrote to Paul; an Alcoholics Anonymous member in Mackay, Queensland, Australia.
October 28, I964
My dear Paul,
Thanks very much for the stirring account of your most genuine spiritual experience. I need not say that this is a gift of Grace that was no doubt made possible by your condition of extreme deflation that preceded it. Your sudden projection into what for you was a new world of consciousness and reality can enable you to do, and to be, what was hereto for was impossible. In my view, this is th...
