Tuesday roll call
Hello everyone!
 Wanted to share a reading today - Today's thought is: Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. --George Eliot Who are we, really? It seems like we are one person on the inside, and yet we often act like someone else. Can a good person do bad things? Can a bad person do good things? It's pretty confusing, isn't it? Our recovery program teaches us that we can change who we are by changing the things we do. We can become the kind of person we want to be by acting as if we are already that person. For example, if we want to be sober, we can act as if we are a sober person; that is, don't drink, and don't hang out in places where people go to drink. If we want to be a caring person, we can do caring actions for others. We are the person we feel like on the inside. We are also the person we act like on the outside. In recovery, we change how we think, feel, and act. We practice making changes in each of these areas, and every time we do well in one area, we help in the others too. Prayer for the Day Higher Power, help me become the person I want to be by changing how I act, how I feel, and how I think. I am sick and tired of acting, feeling, and thinking like an addict. Today's Action Today I will watch how I think, feel, and act. I will remind myself to think, feel, and act like the person I want to be. You are reading from the book: God Grant Me... by Anonymous ~~~~~~~ I like the message in this reading - especially the last paragraph. When I continue working on making changes in one area of my life, it seems the other areas of my life change too!!  I continue to remind myself to "think, feel and act like the person I want to be."

Hi Teddie. Not much happening in my back yard. I'm feeling a lot better and accept the wages of a dissolute life. (In other words I'm falling apart.
 )I really wish that more of the oldtimers would join in here. You new comers are all very welcome too. Don't just lurk; join in the sharing. Have a great day Citoig
