Some people are too strong for their own good! They’ll continue to push forward, they’ll continue to rresist… until they’re ground down to nothing. Worst of all, God cannot work with people such as these ordinarily

Jesus would always say “Peace to You”, “Peace to this House”. I believe one of the most important reasons for this is that man’s usually at his most vulnerable when he is restless, irritable, discontent.

Sidenote: With regard to Alcoholics, situationally-we are apt to drink essentially under all conditions “mad, sad, or glad”. Therefore, relying upon certain conditions is OUT OF THE QUESTION! 🤷‍♂️ WE MUST FIND A POWER GREATER THAN OURSELVES WHICH WORKS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS -AND NOT JUST SOME.

Unless I am willing to meet that threshold required for success regarding any particular endeavor -you will repeatedly fail! ALCOHOLISM -it’s different for everyone (what is required to succeed -we each have different things working against us in varying degrees)! The consequences of relapse are also different for everyone!

We don’t have to figure out the program -somebody else already did that for us!

“They lost the AA-MAGIC Richard!”

310 meetings in 90 days -walking

Alcoholism is a serious illness -if it’s treatment is approached with any less vigor…

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND Alcoholics who can chip at this-or-that and not turn to Alcohol! 🤷‍♂️

Alcohol didn’t beat me up enough -I needed drugs to finish the job -i knew nothing about withdrawal while drinking.

The good news is 🤔 I’m in charge of my own recovery -the bad news is…

“RECOVERY IS AN ACT OF SELF-LOVE’.

We see this time and time again -when you don’t want to believe something something, you don’t even go there. Which is why, “when it happens” We are all blown away by it, we are all completely caught off guard by it… It is the realities in life, present and future, that are so hard to imagine -BUT WE MUST!

One of the first things I was taught in college -BE AN INDIVIDUAL THINKER 🤔 -FAR FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE LACK THE ABILITY FOR EXAMPLE, TO QUESTION OR CHALLENGE AUTHORITY! They would be naked, dumbfounded without their leaders -for better or for worse.

Sidenote: Ana is so indecisive -it is perhaps one reason I’m still a part of her life! Were it not for that 🤷‍♂️

The salvation of people’s souls is the priority -not the salvatiin of your personal property!

For many years I ping-ponged between incapable and unwilling.

Some people have no respect for the laws of nature -they just go with whatever feels right to them.The new generation!

Afterthought: As a member of Alcoholics Anonymous I feel a certain responsibility buddy towards respect of the law and authority I am authority.

It’s only paranoia -if it turns out somebody’s not watching you.

You’re only crazy -if you happen to be wrong.

While I may not be terribly far-removed from my formative years, I nonetheless have some perspective between then and now to impress upon dear readers. When I was younger, all – 👀 -were – on -the -prize, A WOMAN. Since that time however -I am no longer interested in my being, my life revolving around them so much. But, apparently -based upon the content of various TV programs, commercials and such, many men young and old clearly DO NOT MIND. Looking back, I wasted alot of time, suffered incessantly, and hurt alot of women. It’s simply not all it’s cracked up to be. There are, in my humble opinion, much better things to do in life than to 🤤 drool and chase skirts. Besides -YOUR COUNTRY/SPECIES NEEDS YOU!

Some people, in spite of their fear(s) can continue to more-or-less fly right -while others tend to take a 👃-👎 (nosedive).

Think 🤔 well of people -even when they are not. It’s better for the soul -because while there may be a bit of bad in each of us, there’s always a bit of good👍in each of us 🇺🇸 as well.
