From Pancake Marathon:
It’s the fact that yes, what I have is what is mine unreal is that when it is something that I only can do but I is not there to do it anymore, now is that now the simple form of what is What the actor scenario is all about in the AA big book: For I do understand and inner stand the overstanding of what is the simple fact of the matter that making others have to work harder because I want job security essentially, is ridiculous upon itself just simply say; for that has nothing to do with living life on life's terms and giving it to my higher power or that of unity upon itself; That's why you have to really give what you have so then it shall be your's when it comes back to you, yes keep it with care this time and yet simply to say if really what you have because it is you that is making others have to work harder as in that is an addiction upon itself only best suited by the word of narcissist.

FAMILY is only because we at times, when we were using that we put ourselves first: called self-seeking, some call it as Self-centeredness; and in and of itself I would say “ that this is a spiritual program and not a religious, so you're supposed to be centered, but self-seeking is the same thing as calling selfishness when it comes into the adaptation of what is a Normie: somebody that does not have an addiction that is making their life unmanageable or that of what is an AA zealot.” So, when we look at the fear that we have we see that it is the fact that we get to give hugs for it was when we were going nuts that we lost hope, still we must push and when we push we can love; as when we love we can see that we are Cultivate an attitude of gratitude by doing it sober because we now know that God doesn't make junk.

NA Just For Today: Learning To Love Ourselves
"What we want most is to feel good about ourselves." Basic Text, p. 97
"We'll love you until you can learn to love yourself!" These words, heard so often in our meetings, promise a day we look forward to eagerly - the day when we'll know how to love ourselves.
Self-esteem, we all want this elusive quality as soon as we hear about it. Some of us seem to stumble upon it accidentally, while others embark on a course of action complete with affirmations made to our reflections in the mirror. But fix-it-yourself techniques and trendy psychological cures can only take us so far.
There are some definite, practical steps we can take to show love for ourselves, whether we "feel" that love or not. We can take care of our personal responsibilities. We can do nice things for ourselves, as we would for a lover or a friend. We can start paying attention to our own needs. We can even pay attention to the qualities that we cherish in our friends - qualities like intelligence and humor - and look for those same qualities in ourselves. We're sure to find that we really are lovable people, and once we do that, we're well on our way.
Just for today: I will do something today that helps me recognize and feel love for myself.
Daily Reflections: TURNING IT OVER
Every man and woman who has joined A.A. and intends to stick has, without realizing it, made a beginning on Step Three. Isn't it true that in all matters touching upon alcohol, each of them has decided to turn his or her life over to the care, protection, and guidance of Alcoholics Anonymous? . . . Any willing newcomer feels sure A.A. is the only safe harbor for the foundering vessel he has become. Now if this is not turning one's will and life over to a newfound Providence, then what is it? TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 35
Submission to God was the first step to my recovery. I believe our Fellowship seeks a spirituality open to a new kinship with God. As I exert myself to follow the path of the Steps, I sense a freedom that gives me the ability to think for myself. My addiction confined me without any release and hindered my ability to be released from my self-confinement, but A.A. assures me of a way to go forward.
Mutual sharing, concern and caring for others is our natural gift to each other and mine is strengthened as my attitude toward God changes. I learn to submit to God's will in my life, to have self-respect, and to keep both of these attitudes by giving away what I receive.
