There’s a lot of people in this country that don’t like the changes they see going on. Unfortunately for them, unfortunately for us, they figure as long as it doesn’t get past their front door it’s not worth the fight! NOT SO! By the time it reaches your front door it’ll be too late! TOO LATE.

The average American citizen is using weapons that are outdated by at least 60 or 70 years. Do you think when the government really decides to take a stand they’re gonna be using pop guns? They’re gonna be using electrical interference technology to

Next time the government or corporate America tries to discredit someone for standing up against them….. Turn the tables on them and when and lend your support to the person trying trying to stand up to them. You don’t know if what corporate America and the government are saying are true but you can tell the fruit of the tree itself spell by what it is doing openly! To tell you the truth, if a person is trying to help the masses come and it turns out and it could turns out that he molested a child 20 years earlier… If it is evident that they’re trying to do good in the here-and-the-now*… I’m gonna stand behind the!

It’s hard enough for a hard and criminal to turn their life around without society turning their backs on them once they get back into mainstream America I absolutely love with Gary wee calm of the captain if the volunteer fire station said to me when I applied – “I don’t care about what you did in the past I don’t care about what you do now!”

It’s probably a good idea that most of the women in this town have never been particularly friendly towards me. Save me from getting into a lot more trouble! Now a place like Miami, Jersey lol

You know the electric company put a disconnect notice on the wrong side of my apartment door (back door which I never use which should have been obvious by all the leaves piled up at the door) one year and ended up disconnecting it. They wouldn’t take ownership -No heat, no hot shower… Well I’m on the topic, I figured I’d mention that I thought it was very interesting it’s very interesting that the utility utility company, the electric company was going by credit ratings in order to determine whether they were going to give people extensions on their bill or not -that’s kind of up there with mandatory car insurance don’t you think? I’m sure the electric company and the insurance companies just love that right? But I have always been of the mind that a free country comes a democracy trumps giving money to corporate America. We should never have to give money to corporate America!

Things like cars and phones…. You not only pay for them once but you continue paying for them for the rest of your lives with maintenance, gas, electricity… I couldn’t believe it when I heard that they were making kitchen appliances to purposely break down after 6 or 7 years.

I can buy a Caadilac SRX in near 95%condition for less than I can buy a Honda Accord in similar shape -Why is that? Because the maintenance on the Cadillac per year’s 3 to 4 times as much as it is on the Honda. Tru-shtory!

I also heard they were dropping the prices on phone so that every human being would have one in their hands? Since when?

In many instances, personal relationships are probably based upon chemistry-the prevailing factor. A close 2nd is financial security. And 3rd of course’s physical attractiveness. But in many other types of relationships, instances where people don’t even like each other… In matters of money there is often a collaboration where one or both individuals do not necessarily care for each other -do not even necessarily have respect for each other.

Like John Nash in the movie “A Beautiful Mind” where he comes to the realization that the two people in his hallucinations don’t “grow” (Lorraine speaking @ 7 am’r “grow”) old -I realized “I never got sick of drinking and drugging, 8 hours a day, 7 days a week”. I love sex, I love lobster, I love bubble-gum ice cream… A gent by the name of Roy C. used to say “I love orange juice, but I never sat down and drank a case of it”.

When you get up in the morning (as an Alcoholic), you have your orange juice along with your breakfast, you fly out the door to work… you don’t sit around staring at the clock, waiting for a break so you can sneak out to the car to take a pull off a carton of O.J.

Alcoholics Anonymous is not for people who need it; it’s not for people who want it; it’s for people who do it.*

Some days I need it; some days I want it; and some days I do it.

When I speak, I speak to all peoples; not just alcoholics. I could speak at a political rally. I could speak at a church. And yes, I could speak in a meeting f Alcoholics Anonymous.

For some people Alcoholics Anonymous is a step down; For others it’s a step up; And for others, it’s simply a way through.

Then I did volunteer work at our local treatment center for chemical dependency, I noticed the patients we often distracted by complaints about food, space, attitude of techs, the lack of individual care given the enormous cost being charged them. IT WAS THEN THAT I HAD THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY LOOKING BACK ON MY OWN RECOVERY THAT -AN ALCOHOLIC WILL:

•Use anything to avoid looking at themselves

•Once we stop drinking, we often switch addictions; relationships, blame, work…

•Alcoholics can die of other things besides alcohol you know

•While you can, take full advantage of the opportunities afforded you to get better

*I will go ahead and say that whatever your reason come whatever you’re yesterday frame of mind for that day…. Whatever gets you in the rooms, whatever keeps you in the rooms -is fair game.

“God does not make too hard a terms with those who seek Him”.

Bill Wilson, in much of the literature; speaks of character building; of becoming better human-beings; of growing in the likeness of our creator; of having the best possible relationships with others; of spiritual growth on a daily basis throughout the life cycle; of the necessity for constant growth if we are to maintain** sober, happy, productive lives.

**Maintenance has never been one of my strong points. In fact, I’m the kind of guy that dusts about once a year. They say Bill Wilson too was legendary for his lack of enthusiasm when it came to domestic chores.

What if the country you lived in had no AA meetings? God! God! God! God knows the difference between a person who willfully refuses to participate in their own recovery, and a person who is restricted or limited

Alcohol took precedence over the things in my life, the people in my life I loved dearly! When we come to recovery -we are granted a second chance at life. Life is for living!

Get busy livin’ -or get busy with dyin’.

For some people, too much freedom is the worst thing that could happen to them.

Everything is permitted -but not all things are beneficial.

You know, if you can’t be happy living in this country… we have the freedom, the opportunity, and many thousands and thousands of things we can enjoy and participate in. In some countries there are soldiers on every corner… people cannot make a move without… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Not dyin’ is not the same thing as livin’!

For many years in my recovery I thought of success in terms of not screwing up. I thought of happiness in terms of not screwing up. But this is only half the formula for success, for happiness…

Few things are more exhaustive than processing/reciting truth!

How do you figure a pack of wolves have the advantage of running down an animal with that animal can out-pace any one of them? Same thing with a group of men chasing after one man!!

People with money worry about being wanted for their money hythere money-and in many cases with good reason.

So when it comes to things like love, things like friendship-who hasn’t worse, the rich man or the poor man? The rich man who has everyone (for the wrong reason) or the poor man who has no one (but atleast knows where he stands -and why)?

A lot of older people are bitter and angry because the world isn’t as nice or as good as it used to be. And some young people are now coming on board as well.

TWO things man CAN aspire to which would raise his spiritual character to a place where one can perhaps peer no where else but down:

•Absolute concern to the extent of suffering due to the downfall (moment-to-moment; day-by-day) of his fellow man; next to him; across the 🌎.*

•The most difficult thing in the 🌎 for most of us to is stand by another human being under any and all circumstances, no matter what it does to us in the process (for God sees…), until you have done everything humanly, and supernaturally possible to bring him or her back from the brink!*

And I’ll be the first to admit I TOO NEED TAKE THIS MOST POWERFUL ADVICE!!!! I TOO AM LACKING GREATLY IN THE STRENGTH/FORTITUDE NECESSARY!!!!

If you feed the spirit -the body suffers

If you feed the body -the spirit suffers

*A thought that had escaped me earlier just returned 🤔 -If a person is willing to 🚶‍♀️go🚶‍♂️to hell-and-back to compete for Olympic-gold, he should be twice as willing when it comes to the welfare of his fellow man (just think of all the compensatory adjustments we’ve had to put in place due to our incompetence, our negligence, our division, in short; our failure time-and-time again to be adequately prepared as a species -as a whole! THANK YOU LORD! 🙏
