One Week After Meetings
I do not know what has happened to change your self-esteem
I just keep hoping I'll wake up and this will be a dream
All the tears, the lies and the many sleepless nights
The booze, the binges and the never ending fights
I've been told I should just stop & learn to walk away
But I'm a codependent and that's probably how I'll stay
It's hard to sit back and watch your life spin out of my control
But being a passive bystander has never been my role
I hope one day to break this cycle that I continue on
Stop controlling others is what I'm told in Al-Anon
The road will not be easy, nor the path straight & true
But I'm doing this for me, so work your program for you.

"Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting
different results." Basic Text, p. 23
Mistakes! We all know how it feels to make them. Many of us
feel that our entire lives have been a mistake. We often regard
our mistakes with shame or guilt—at the very least, with
frustration and impatience. We tend to see mistakes as evidence
that we are still sick, crazy, stupid, or too damaged to recover.
In truth, mistakes are a very vital and important part of being
human. For particularly stubborn people (such as addicts), mistakes
are often our best teachers. There is no shame in making mistakes.
In fact, making new mistakes often shows our willingness to take
risks and grow.
It's helpful, though, if we learn from our mistakes; repeating the
same ones may be a sign that we're stuck. And expecting different
results from the same old mistakes—well, that's what we call "insanity!'
It just doesn't work.
Just for today: Mistakes aren't tragedies. But please,
Higher Power, help me learn from them! pg. 140

CLEANING HOUSE
Somehow, being alone with God doesn't seem as embarrassing as facing up to
another person. Until we actually sit down and talk aloud about what we
have so long hidden, our willingness to clean house is still largely
theoretical.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 60
It wasn't unusual for me to talk to God, and myself, about my character
defects. But to sit down, face to face, and openly discuss these
intimacies with another person was much more difficult. I recognized in
the experience, however, a similar relief to the one I had experienced when
I first admitted I was an alcoholic. I began to appreciate the spiritual
significance of the program and that this Step was just an introduction to
what was yet to come in the remaining seven Steps.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day by Hazelden/ May 14th
A.A. Thought for the Day
Having gotten over drinking, we have only just begun to
enjoy the benefits of A.A. We find new friends, so that
we are no longer lonely. We find new relationships with
our families, so that we are happy at home. We find release
from our troubles and worries through a new way of looking
at things. We find an outlet for our energies in helping
other people. Am I enjoying these benefits of A.A.?
Meditation for the Day
The kingdom of heaven is within you. God sees, as no one can
see, what is within you. He sees you growing more and more
like Himself. That is your reason for existence, to grow more
and more like God, to develop more and more the spirit of
God within you. You can often see in others those qualities
and aspirations that you yourself possess. So also can God
recognize His own spirit in you. Your motives and aspirations
can only be understood by those who have attained the same
spiritual level as you have.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may not expect complete understanding from
others. I pray that I may only expect this from God, as I
try to grow more like Him.

Solve The Right Problems
Are you solving the problems you want to solve,
or the problems you think that
you are supposed to solve? -Thom Rutledge
Peter spent his days solving problems.
He had attended the right college
and found the right profession
and worked for the right people.
As a successful accountant, he counted other
people's money and figured out what they owed
the government.
Peter was good at his job,
but he wanted to take pictures.
Still, accounting was an important job,
and people needed him to help them with their taxes.
Solving other people's money problems took up most of Peter's time,
so much time that he gradually forgot about taking pictures.
One day, he picked up a magazine
on photography and started reading.
He bought a camera and took some pictures.
Then he took a vacation and took some more pictures.
He entered them in a local showing
and received second prize.
Peter didn't stop being an accountant.
But now he spends as much time
solving problems of aperture and shutter speed
as he does 401k's and 1099's.
Are you solving the problems that you want to solve?
Or are you solving the same problem over and over?
Find the answers to the questions you have.
Then find more questions to ask.
God, give me the courage to follow my heart.
Teach me how to experience more joy in my life.

Goodbye Wonder Woman
by Kristine Carlson
(Editor's Note: While this article is written for women, it could also be
entitled "Goodbye Superman" and be applied to males as well...)
For the most part, women have never had it so good. Thanks to our mothers,
grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, we've achieved equality with men (even
if some men don't think so). We've made incredible strides in white- and
blue-collar professional arenas, and we have broken strict gender barriers
in nearly all industries. More than ever, we're respected by others and we
respect ourselves. And we deserve it! We have more independence, options,
and conveniences than ever, as well as the capacity to live rich, full
lives.
Along with the many options we have created for ourselves, however, comes
some very real confusion accompanied by a sense of being overwhelmed. Unlike
the women who came in generations before us, we are lacking a concrete
paradigm to live by. Instead, we are expected to do it all -- all the time.
We have taken our ability to multi-task, and to accomplish a tremendous
amount, to new levels. We are "super women" with much to celebrate -- yet we
are exhausted!
One thing that hasn't changed very much is that many of us have a tendency
to sweat the small stuff! Women are incredibly strong and, ironically, we do
really well when the stakes are high. If there's a crisis, we're on top of
it. If a friend is in need, we'll be there. If there's a sick child, turn to
a woman for strength. If a sacrifice needs to be made, chances are, we will
rise to the occasion and find a way to do what needs to be done.
On the other hand, we're the first to "lose it" over fairly small stuff! We
can be nitpicky, petty, uptight, and tense. Many of us are perfectionists,
overly controlling, and easily offended. We take things personally, and can
be very reactive and dramatic. We're often quick to get bothered, irritated,
and frustrated.
I'm a normal everyday person who has either dealt with, or is currently
dealing with, most of the issues and challenges in this book. To one degree
or another, most of us have struggled with body image, family choices,
budgets, men, friends, lifestyle, time management, communication issues,
parenting, and balance. I certainly have. This is the stuff life is made of,
and from which none of us are exempt!
I suppose that my greatest asset is that I'm a genuinely happy person most
of the time. I tend to see the glass half full instead of half empty. I've
always felt grateful to be a woman and to be alive. Happiness and peace of
mind have always been a priority. Because of my basic nature and the efforts
I've taken in this direction, I've come to see that it's not necessary (most
of the time) to sweat the small stuff. I've found that the less bothered I
become, the more I'm able to celebrate being female.
Like so many other women, I find all sorts of reasons (albeit some very
superficial, but enjoyable nonetheless) to relish being a woman. I love
T-shirts with a bit of lace, French country prints, and cinnamon spice
scents. I love taking aromatherapy baths and playing with makeup. To me,
there is nothing greater than being "mommy," and I adore doing my girls'
hair and nails. I also love being Richard's wife. I cherish my girlfriends
and the sensitivity, understanding, and compassion we offer each other
day-to-day. I love expressing myself passionately through art, creating a
haven out of my home, exercising, practicing yoga, and meditation -- and I
admit, I also love to shop!
On the other hand, I have also experienced, firsthand, the many challenges,
circumstances, and issues facing women today; everything from being a
full-time business owner to part-time career woman blended with motherhood.
I've also been a full-time mother and home manager. I've been successful at
some things, and less successful at others. There was a long time when we
struggled to make ends meet financially. I've been single, and I've been
married. And of course there was a time, although I sometimes have
difficulty remembering those years, when I was a struggling teen and college
student.
I saw a bumper sticker that said: "I am Woman. I am invincible. I am tired."
Girlfriend, doesn't that say it all? Where do we women get the idea that we
have to be perfect and do everything with the gusto and grace of Wonder
Woman? There's no harm in giving everything you do the best you have to
offer, but when your expectations are too high and your head hurts or your
hair feels as though it could fall out, you need to consider wishing the
Wonder Woman in you goodbye.
The key to this strategy is threefold. One, let go of the notion that you
can do it all. When you can't accomplish everything on your list, that
doesn't mean you're inadequate. Two, be willing to ask for help when you
need it. Three, be willing to make changes when your system fails. If you
can do these three things, you have begun to say goodbye to Wonder Woman!
I remember thinking that I would be the kind of woman who could easily
balance motherhood, career, and outside interests, as well as have a perfect
marriage. I did a pretty good job until our second daughter, our lovely
Kenna, came along. Then my system failed and became out of balance. Kenna
was one of the sweetest babies ever created. She was, however, an ear
infection infant, and ran high fevers often. Dosed with antibiotics, she was
sick a great deal of the time. Day care was out of the question; I wouldn't
dream of having someone else care for my sick child. But Richard and I were
running out of answers.
Finally, a solution came to me one stressed-out morning. As I finally
quieted down, I realized that I was trying to maintain an image that was now
totally out of control, and that was bigger than I had energy for or that I
ever imagined it would be. It was as if a light bulb went on; it became
obvious that it was time to wish Wonder Woman goodbye -- and that's exactly
what I did!
I began to think it was time for my first career change; I was going to go
from graphic designer to home manager. Although it wasn't the best of times
financially, we decided that our family would be better served if I took a
leave of absence from my business. I knew that this was probably going to
close a chapter in my personal history, and it wasn't going to be easy, as
change rarely is. However, I decided that I needed to prioritize my family's
needs (and sanity) over my own need to hold on to the "Wonder Woman" who
thought she could handle running a business during nap times. It was just
too much!
After the initial adjustment, I figured out that taking care of our two
daughters full-time was a lot of fun, even if it meant less money -- and it
was so much more gratifying without the frustration of having a work
schedule to attend to.
Stress is a very real phenomenon, but consider how much of it you create for
yourself. If your husband's income alone is not enough to adequately provide
for your family, then your only choice may be to go to work. On the other
hand, if your husband's income is ample, yet you choose to work, and you're
constantly stressed-out and made miserable by your job -- well, in my book,
that's a different story.
It might sound as if I'm making the case that all mothers should stay home
with their children instead of working. I'm not. All I'm saying is that all
of us need to take a look at our lives as circumstances change, and reflect
on our priorities. As big events occur -- bringing babies home from the
hospital, having ill parents, or tending a sick child, for instance -- we
can't just expect our lives to go on as usual. We need to evaluate whether
or not our current lifestyle best serves us, and if not, to navigate our way
in a new direction by making small shifts and adjustments. Being
stressed-out to the max virtually all the time is not giving your family the
best you have to offer, because there's no way the material things you
provide will replace your sanity, and that of your family.
If, on the other hand, you can create some flexibility in your work schedule
when needed, and you have excellent help, and all the family members are
thriving, good for you -- you've found a balance that works.
Keep in mind that Wonder Woman thinks she can do everything and be all
things to everyone, all at once! She never says, "No, but thanks for
asking," when asked to volunteer her time. She can't set limits, and she
continues to add more and more to her calendar without letting go of
anything. She darts here and there, leaving a frenetic trail of busyness.
She adds one more committee to her list, or one more pet. She never says no
to a lunch date or social request -- unless, of course, she's already
booked. She always takes in houseguests. Does she have a family? Well, if
not, you can bet she plans on squeezing one into her schedule! Whatever her
reasons, she does too much and eventually she caves in from exhaustion!
If this sounds familiar, it's time to reevaluate your "Wonder Woman" image
and self-imposed expectations. Whether you're a stay-at-home, full-time mom
or corporate executive; single, married with children, or otherwise; you
need to ask yourself some basic questions. Would you enjoy your children
more and have more to offer them emotionally if you took an occasional
break? Are you spending too much time away from them in the name of good
works? Is your home-based business totally taking over your life? How much
of you does the company you work for really own, and how much are you
willing to give up to continue to climb the corporate ladder?
The point is, if you're stressed, working too hard, and completely out of
steam, consider what things you have control over and make some changes.
Most important, realize that you don't have to be perfect -- and that Wonder
Woman is merely a figment of someone else's imagination.

DOGS DON'T HAVE SOULS, DO THEY?
By Chuck Wells of
Palmyra, NY.
I remember bringing you home.
You were so small and cuddly with your tiny paws and soft fur.
You bounced around the room with eyes flashing and ears flopping.
Once in a while you would let out a little yelp to let me
know this was your territory.
Making a mess of the house and chewing on everything in sight
became a passion, and when I scolded you,
you'd just put your head down and look up with those innocent eyes,
as if to say,"I'm sorry,but I'll do it again as soon as you're not watching."
As you got older, you protected me by looking out
the window and barking at everyone that walked by.
When I had a tough day at work, you would be waiting for me
with your tail wagging, just to say,
"Welcome home. I missed you."
You never had a bad day,
and I could always count on you to be there for me.
When I sat down to read the paper or watch TV,
you would hop on my lap, looking for attention.
You never asked for anything more than to have me
pat your head so that you could go to sleep
with your head over my leg.
As you got older, you moved more slowly,
then, one day, old age finally took it's toll,
and you couldn't stand on those wobbly legs anymore.
I knelt down and patted you lying there,
trying to make you feel young again.
You just looked up at me, as if to say that you were old
and tired and after all these years of not asking for anything,
you had to ask me for one favor.
With tears in my eyes, I drove you one last time to the vet.
One last time, you were lying next to me.
For some strange reason, you were able to stand up in the animal hospital.
Perhaps it was your sense of pride.
As the vet led you away, you stopped for an
instant, turned your head and looked at me as if to say,
"Thank you for taking care of me."
I thought, "No thank you for taking care of me."

Resistance is Futile
"Once you make a decision,
the universe conspires to make it happen."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And the universe is big enough that
when it wants its way, it gets it
Think your dream will fit that bigness?
My dream does
All our dreams do
I look today to the unfolding
of my deepest desire
I believe in a natural flowing
seemingly unmatched sequential chain of events
that will bring me closer
make me ready for my dream
I accept and believe in its growth
as it cannot ever be stagnant
Universe breathes life into desires
we add faith acceptance joy ~
oh, we ask, of course
then just sit back and watch
with passionate patience
It is there birthing splitting its seedcoat
wide open to receive
active participation
as a dormant seed ready
to thirstily imbibe life moisture
It is too big a conspiracy not to join
Be no longer a part of the resistance movement
Let go ~ grasp the thread and be prepared
To Fly
Love

Part Of The Whole
There is no one who stands on top
We all have come here to stop
No one has complete control
We are all part of the whole
Today we give so you can live
One day you will have
The chance to give
It is the only way
To keep what we got
It sounds strange
Believe it or not
Many are called
But only a few make it
None of us had the power to quit
It sure enough is a God deal
For once in our life we get real
There are no big shots in here
We all learn to deal with out fear
Now in our program
You'll never be alone
Come join us
Make this your home
We will guide you from day to day
That is the only way for us to stay
All we have is a daily reprieve
All of us have come to believe
God is the copilot in our life
By His love we over come the strife
When you join us
You will never be alone again
We'll stand at your side
We'll teach you how not to hide

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Live And Let Live*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently
cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it
must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an
abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to
produce their kind.
Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and
growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the
garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts,
and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful,
and pure thoughts, By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers
that he is the master gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He
also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands with
ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought forces and mind elements operate
in the shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny.
