~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Just for Today*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

This is a Great H & I Story, from a sponsee,
of a women that carries the message into a prison.
I had asked my sponsee in prison
(she writes the Jenna-fur column) to write an article
on what service work means to her. I just received
it yesterday and must have read it 10 times.
This has been one of the greatest gifts of my recovery.

For Your willingness;
You asked, "What can I do?"
you saw a need and filled the gap
in hopes it would make a difference.
You did make a difference.
For your acceptance;
You saw us at our worse
and though we weren't the
most ideal bunch, you saw
through our rocky exteriors.
You accepted us any way.
For sharing your story;
You shared some of the most
difficult times of your life
with us in hopes we‚d see
the similarities. By your sharing
You freed us to share our stories.
For listening to us;
You encouraged us to express
our feelings, fears and concerns,
giving us some relief.
As we spoke, we grew
You allowed us to hear ourselves.
For teaching us;
What it takes to be whole again,
about the Steps, about sponsors,
Traditions and service work, about trial
and errors and especially about forgiveness.
You told us the truth.
For giving us back some self esteem;
telling us it does count and
we do matter. You helped us
find our esteem through your
selfless esteem.
You extended your hand.
For giving us hope;
and something to strive for
by your example. We hope
that someday we will have
What you do.
You gave us a reason to believe.
For giving us our dreams back;
Letting us know we are all special
people with special gifts to
share, and for giving us an
opportunity to shine. By doing that
You allowed us to feel worthy.
You‚re Higher Power Shines Through You.
From all the women
whose lives you touched
at the Pinellas County Jail
We love you and
You did make a difference.

Just For Today
September 4 Cluttered spirits

"We try to remember that when we make amends we are doing it
for ourselves." Basic Text p.40

As long as we still owe amends, our spirits are cluttered with things
we don't need. We're carrying the extra load of an apology owed, a
resentment held, or unexpressed remorse. It's like having a messy
house. We could leave so we don't have to see the mess, or maybe
just step over the piles of debris and pretend they aren't there. But
ignoring the disorder won't make it disappear. In the end, the dirty
dishes, the crumb-filled carpet, and the overflowing wastebaskets
are still there, waiting to be cleaned up.

A cluttered spirit is just as hard to live with as a messy home. We
always seem to be tripping over yesterday's leavings. Every time
we turn around and try to go somewhere, there is something blocking
our path. The more we neglect our responsibility to make amends,
the more cluttered our spirits become. And we can't even hire
someone to clean up. We have to do the work ourselves.

We gain a deep sense of satisfaction from making our own amends.
Just as we would feel after we've cleaned our homes and have time
to enjoy a bit of sunshine through sparkling windows, so will our
spirits
rejoice at our freedom to truly enjoy our recovery. And once the big
mess is cleaned up, all we have to do is pick up after ourselves as we
go along.

Just for today: I will clear away what's cluttering my spirit by
making the amends I owe. pg. 258

". . .Of All Persons We Had Harmed"

"...and became willing to make amends to them all."
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 77

One of the key words in the Eighth Step is the word all. I am
not free to select a few names for the list and to disregard others.
It is a list of all persons I have harmed. I can see immediately
that this Step entails forgiveness because if I'm not willing to
forgive someone, there is little chance I will place his name on
the list. Before I placed the first name on my list, I said a little
prayer: "I forgive anyone and everyone who has ever harmed
me at any time and under any circumstances."

It is well for me to contemplate a small, but very significant,
two-letter word every time the Lord's Prayer is said. The word is as.
I ask, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us." In this case, as means, "in the same
manner." I am asking to be forgiven in the same manner that I
forgive others. As I say this portion of the prayer, if I am
harboring hatred or resentment, I am inviting more resentment,
when I should be calling on the spirit of forgiveness.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day by Hazelden/ September 4th

A.A. Thought for the Day

"We must be careful never to show intolerance or hatred of
drinking as an institution. Experience shows that such an
attitude is not helpful to anyone. We are not fanatics or
intolerant of people who can drink normally. Prospects are
relieved when they find we are not witch burners. Temperate
drinking is okay, but we alcoholics can't get away with it. And
no alcoholic likes to be told about alcohol by anyone who hates
it. We shall be of little use if our attitude is one of bitterness
or hostility." Do I have tolerance for those who can drink
normally?

Meditation for the Day

Do not become encumbered by petty annoyances. Never
respond to emotional upsets by emotional upset. Try to keep
calm in all circumstances. Try not to fight back. Call on the
grace of God to calm you when you feel like retaliating. Look
to God for the inner strength to drop those resentments that
drag you down. If you are burdened by annoyances, you will
lose your inward peace and the spirit of God will be shut out.
Try to keep peaceful within.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may do the things that make for peace. I pray
that I may have a mission of conciliation.

Today's Thought
SEPTEMBER 04, 2005

You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go.
Melody Beattie ©

Finding Direction

I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone
else that my life had no direction. Other people's lives, problems,
and wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was okay
for me to think about and identify what I wanted, remarkable things
began to take place in my life.
--Anonymous

We each have a life to live, one that has purpose and meaning.
We can help our Higher Power give direction and purpose to our
life by setting goals.

We can set goals annually, monthly, or daily in times of crisis.
Goals create direction and pace; goals help us achieve a
manageable life that is directed in the course we choose for
ourselves.

We can help give our lives direction by setting goals.

Today, I will pay attention to setting a course of action for my
life, rather than letting others control my life and affairs.

The Secret
http://www.thesecret.tv

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Keep It Simple*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

What Do You Want To Create?

People say "I want peace" - "I want freedom". And.? In my view
the only way to have freedom or peace is to create them in our
own heart. How to do this? First of all through awareness that
you can and secondly through constant practice.

A respected teacher once observed that most people go through
life as if sitting in the back seat of a car. They have no control
over where the car is going and therefore feel powerless and
victimized. The object of mind, body, spirit work is to climb into
to the drivers seat and to realize that you can take direction of
your own life.

How to start? Let's start with your body. If you don't feel healthy
then you have no foundation to build upon. Western medicine
views the human body as a collection of separate parts. You
have a problem in you ear, for example - you're given something
to help you ear. In tradition Chinese medicine (and other systems
of energetic medicine) the body is seen as a whole system. The
problem with your ear is a sign that something is out of balance
in your system. If you deal with the imbalance - which may be
caused by any number of factors, from diet, to environment,
to stress or emotions, you will not only solve the problem in
your ear but also prevent other problems from developing. All
ill health is a sign that something in your life is out of balance.
If you maintain the balance then your physical body will stay in
good health.

As the medical intuitive and author, Caroline Myss, PhD., says
in her book "Anatomy of the Spirit, "Biography becomes biology."
Each thought and emotion affects our physical body in subtle ways.
Acupuncture, energetic healing, hands-on therapy, spiritual
healing and self-development work all aim to identify the root
cause of blockages and deal with them resulting in a healthier,
whole person.

Let's now consider your mind. The first thing to do is to open it!
We may not always be able to control the circumstances of our
lives. We live in a global society and the workings of people far
away from us can affect our lives. What better example than
here in Cyprus, a divided island, with thousands of people
forced to move from their homes, their lives so greatly disrupted.
The actions of people close to us, our family our colleagues at
work, our friends also affect us, as our actions affect them.
Although some things can occur in our lives that we don't like it,
is vital to realize and remember that we do have control over how
we perceive a situation and respond to it. By developing our mind,
body and spirit balance - by claiming the drivers seat, as it were,
we learn to respond rather than simply react as we grow as
individuals and gain true freedom and peace. It is not always an
easy task - that's why we have teachers, therapists, practices
such as Tai Chi and Yoga that help us to calm our "monkey
mind" - the tapes that often run in our head that keep us from
experiencing the deep silence that allows true intuition and insight.
In a society that glorifies outward show of power and materialism,
that fosters fear as a way of controlling people, it is great task to
conquer our own anger and fear and develop compassion and
forgiveness. But it's worth it! In the daily process of developing
these qualities changes begin to happen. You will draw helpful
people to you and yourself be of help to others.

What is "spirit" and how do we develop it. I understand spirit as
the spark of life that, paradoxically, makes us unique as well as
connects us to all other life. In a way, it is the balance itself that
we strive to achieve. We live in a fascinating time where
science is finally catching up with ancient spiritual metaphysical
teachings. Through the expanding knowledge of quantum
physics science is "proving" that all life is one - that
everything in fact affects everything else. This is why it is
important work to create peace in your own heart. By doing
so you affect all creation - no mean feat - with the by-product
of being healthy and happy yourself. It's hard work - letting go
of our treasured beliefs, our limitations and the norms of a sad
society. But the hardest part is the decision to start. Once you take
the first step, once you make the decision to sit in the driver's seat -
doors of opportunity open up - teachers appear - friends
and colleagues are there to help you - and to learn from you as
well.

Francesca Pinoni, January 2002

SAND OR STONE?

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.
In a specific point of the journey, they had an argument, and
one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one, who got slapped, was hurt, but without anything to
say, he wrote in the sand: "TODAY, MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE".

They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they
decided to take a bath. The one who got slapped and hurt
started drowning, and the other friend saved him. When he
recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE".

The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him,
"Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you
write on a stone?"

The other friend, smiling, replied, "When a friend hurts us,
we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of
forgiveness are in charge of erasing it away, and when
something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone
of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it"

Detachment with Love' Gains New Meaning
By Rosemary Hartman

One of the great gifts of the recovery movement is the concept
of detachment with love. Originally conceived as a way to
relate to an alcoholic family member, detachment with love is
actually a tool that we can apply with anyone.

Al-Anon, a mutual-help group for people with alcoholic friends
or family members, pioneered the idea of detachment with love.
A core principle of Al-Anon is that alcoholics cannot learn from
their mistakes if they are overprotected.

That word "overprotected" has many meanings. For example,
it means calling in sick for your husband if he is too drunk to
show up for work. Overprotecting also means telling children
that mommy didn't show up for the school play because she had
to work late, when the truth is that she was at a bar until midnight.

We used to call such actions "enabling," because they enabled
alcoholics to continue drinking. Today we use the word "adapting,"
which is less blaming. Originally, detachment with love was a call
for family members to stop adapting. But as Al-Anon grew, people
misunderstood detachment with love as a way to scare alcoholics
into changing. Such as, "If you don't go to treatment, I'll leave you!"
Such threats were a gamble that fear could force an alcoholic into
seeking help.

For years the concept of detachment with love got stuck there. In
fact, people still call Hazelden and ask, " If the person I love
continues to drink or use other drugs, should I leave?"

My response is to ask family members to consider a deeper
meaning of detachment with love. This meaning centers on new
questions: What are your needs beyond the needs of the alcoholic
or addict? How can you take care of yourself even if the person
you love chooses not to get help?

Detachment with love means caring enough about others to
allow them to learn from their mistakes. It also means being
responsible for our own welfare and making decisions without
ulterior motives-the desire to control others. Ultimately we are
powerless to control others anyway. Most family members of a
chemically dependent person have been trying to change that
person for a long time, and it hasn't worked. We are involved
with other people but we don't control them. We simply can't
stop people from doing things if they choose to continue.

Understood this way, detachment with love plants the seeds
of recovery. When we refuse to take responsibility for other
people's alcohol or drug use, we allow them to face the natural
consequences of their behavior.

If a child asks why mommy missed the school play, we do
not have to lie. Instead, we can say, "I don't know why she
wasn't here. You'll have to ask her."

Perhaps the essence of detachment with love is responding
with choice rather than reacting with anxiety.

When we threaten to leave someone, we're usually tuned
in to someone else's feelings. We operate on raw emotion. We
say things for shock value. Our words arise from blind reaction,
not thoughtful choice.

Detachment with love offers another option -- responding to
others based on thought rather than anxiety.

For instance, as parents we set limits for our children even
when this angers them. We choose what we think is best over
the long term, looking past the children's immediate emotional
reaction. In this sense, detachment with love can apply whenever
we have an emotional attachment to someone-family or friend,
addicted or sober. The key is to stop being responsible for others
and be responsible to them-and to ourselves.

Rosemary Hartman is the supervisor of the Family Program
for Hazelden Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in
Center City, Minn., that provides chemical dependency
information and recovery services.

Spiritual Principles

If I'm true to myself and speak the truth
Being HONEST in all my affairs.
God will guide me to a peace within
By alleviating all my cares.
HOPE gives me strength for the challenges ahead
To live a better way.
For I see by examples from those all around
That it’s only just for today.
With FAITH, I believe my Higher Power
Will guide me in truth and love,
So I can stay grounded a day at a time
Always led by God up above.
God gives me the COURAGE to face my life
No matter how great the fear.
For he never gives me more than I can handle
I have principles to which I adhere.
I strive for INTEGRITY with the help of God
And adapting the steps of AA.
To be an honest and virtuous soul
Some days I need only pray.
I'm WILLING to change with the help of God
Though I may experience pain.
For I know my resistance will make things worse
And then there will be no gain.
I have a willingness to obtain some HUMILITY
That extremely elusive trait.
Which comes from progress and not perfection
Which only God can create.
Peace yields serenity I achieve by attitude
By striving towards BROTHERLY LOVE.
As I work on forgiveness for myself and others
And praying to God above.
As I go though life I cause complications
For I like doing things my own way.
So DISCIPLINE'S a must with God as my guide
To prevent me from going astray.
I PERSEVERE one day at a time
Learning from my mistakes.
While righting the wrongs as there often are
I often need double takes.
My SPIRITUALITY continues to grow
Because of God in my life.
By devotion to prayer on a daily basis
I can minimize all the strife.
SERVICE is my journey in giving to others
What so bountifully’s been graced upon me.
Therefore I'm blessed with God and AA
Which leads me to peace and serenity

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Keep The Focus On You*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

What moves us through each day?
Do we avoid the bad or consciously seek the good?
Beginning now, we can affirm:
"Rather than being driven by pain, I will be pulled by a vision.
Instead of being caught up in busyness,
I stop to acknowledge God's Presence.
If I'm paralyzed by procrastination,
may I soon be propelled forward by a rush of
gratitude."

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear
of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water,
and the great heron feeds,
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their
lives with forethought of grief.
