Hi guys,


Are you interested in recovery and abstinence from alcohol,


The big book says it all, when the spiritual malady is overcome we straighten out mentally and physically.


When I pray and stay out of the drivers seat, my life goes ever so well.


When I drive I am living in self-will, does anyone identify a situation that self-will has dominated there lives...


God bless and keep on supporting your God of your understanding and you will be free.


Darryl - AA member 23 October 1991 first day of abstinence.


Home group - Clayton Victoria Australia

I have writen poetry on recovery I would like to share


YOU BELONG


I sit here by myself thinking, where do I fit in, am I misfit am I a loner then I remind myself that a group of misfits are not alone. A tiny piece of puzzle in the wrong box is still colorful. I do not wish to be a judge, your past behavior does not define who you are now. Growth is gradual and my eyes have been open to new ideas and thinking. Shed off your old self to reveal the butterfly inside. Belonging is part of our Humanity, there are tribes, clans and support groups. God has provided for me well, and I still worry. I am grateful for my support and my faith which has kept me alive. Be optimistic about life and love and don’t take life too seriously


LIFE IS LIKE A ROAD


You start your journey on the road, helpless and unable to walk, with time you travel down it with others. Sometimes you carry baggage with you, and sometimes you pick things off the road you don’t need.


There are milestones and signs and sometimes you don’t know which way to turn. Sometimes the road is uphill and rocky and unpaved, but there is comfort when you look for it.


Loved ones leave you, but others take their place. Your determination and drive help you move, but faith is the key to open the door to enlightenment.


When others leave you in the road of life, take comfort that you will understand why later. Be sure not to get lost, or you may never find your way back, and leave before you should.


When you do leave the baggage and are willing to learn, great things are ahead of you. God did not promise an easy life, but he did promise a future.


One step at a time and take it slow, it goes by quicker than you think.
