Thats right I don't know SHIT! But you know who does?? Our basic text!!!!
Basic txt. pg.90-When we refuse to practice acceptance, we are in effect, still denying our faith in a higher power.
Basic txt. pg.92-ANY clean addict is a miracle. We keep this miracle alive in ongoing recovery with positive attitudes.
Basic txt. pg.94-We become feeling people, capable of responding appropriately to life. We put spiritual living first and learn to use patience, tolerance and humility in our daily affairs.
Much LOVE, Cory

(((Cory))) Thanks for those pearls of wisdom from our Basic Text.
And yes, I guess being an oldtimer doesn't help any either. The more we stay clean in NA, the more we need to learn.

Saving ourselves FROM ourselves cory I read that the otherday and went "WHOA" how f'n true is that statement, we can be our own worst enemy or we can be our own saving grace , it's a choice and you got to be on the front page in making that decision and i know how freaken hard it is to get there to that decision.
Thats why i say this is a gift more then anything that I have done, its alot of what i've been thru that got me here to this point of surrender and I feel bad at times about throwing that gift back at my HP and saying " No thankyou very much, i can handle this on my own".
Just hang in there Coryann and don't give up we;re here routing for U
