Tuesday roll call

[teddiebears]

Hello again.... what happened to everyone???

Oh well - I'll post today's roll call and hope someone else stops by......

Here's a reading for today -

You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go

Recovery Prayer

This prayer is based on a section of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous:

Thank you for keeping me straight yesterday. Please help me stay straight today.

For the next twenty-four hours, I pray for knowledge of Your will for me only, and the power to carry that through.

Please free my thinking of self-will, self-seeking, dishonesty, and wrong motives.

Send me the right thought, word, or action. Show me what my next step should be. In times of doubt and indecision, please send Your inspiration and guidance.

I ask that You might help me work through all my problems, to Your glory and honor.

This prayer is a recovery prayer. It can take us through any situation. In the days ahead, we'll explore the ideas in it. If we pray this prayer, we can trust it has been answered with a yes.

Today, I will trust that God will do for me what I cannot do for myself. I will do my part - working the Twelve Steps and letting God do the rest.

~~~~~~~~~
This is an appropriate message for me today. I've been feeling rejected and alone, and as I read this message I realized that I'm NOT alone.... I just need to trust my Higher Power and in the power of prayer.

Hi teddiebears. Checking in, missed yesterday. usually post in another forum but am beginning to think it may be a trigger for me and my mental issues so have been avoiding but it kind of creates a loneliness and I care about the friends I have made here on BT so I don't want to disappear totally.

Thank you for the word today and I hope your day is well.

Hi! I'm still here and still 7 1/2 years clean! Today, my daughter is clean too. I stay busy with my life and my NA program. No complaints! Blessings to all!

Hi everybody. Sorry I forgot to powtr yesterday. Thanks bats for reminding me about benchmark dates. Apr. 27 marked the 33rd anniversary of the beginning of my journey to sobriety. It was Apr. 27. 1974 when my brother discovered me living alone, drunk and almost destitute. If he hadn't found me I might very well have been dead in a few weeks. It took until JUly of that year for me to grab onto the of living life without booze. There have been ups and downs but overall it has been one "hell-of-a-ride", and I wouldn't give it up for anything.

I'm not blowing my own horn, but rather I share it to give hope to others. IT CAN BE DONE ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Have a great day.
