Prayer When Frustrated Lord, I feel so frustrated. Give me strength to overcome these negative feelings and to get all the tasks that I have to do, completed, efficiently and effectively, and on time! Calm my mind. Give me peace, as I recollect all the tasks I need to complete. Amen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Thought I'm grateful that I found the program of A.A. that keeps me sober. I'm grateful that A.A. has shown me the way to faith in a Higher Power, because the renewing of that faith has changed my way of life. And I've found a happiness and contentment that I had forgotten existed, by simply believing in God and trying to live the kind of a life that I know He wants me to live. As long as I stay grateful, I'll stay sober. So ............ Am I in a grateful frame of mind? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Contemplation Remembering When we see someone drunk and out of control, can we see the beautiful person inside them? If we can't, who will? Step Twelve reminds us that we have to help the alcoholic who suffers. This task has been given to us because we, most of all, should be able to look past the drunkenness and see the person. We were there. We know what it's like to be trapped in a world without meaning. If these memories have faded, we may need to go back over Step One. We may find ourselves angry with the practicing drunk or other drug addict. This is a sign that we have gotten too far from our past. Remember, "But for the grace of God..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Self-Concern If we cannot or will not achieve sobriety, then we become truly lost, right in the here and now. We are of no value to anyone, including ourselves, until we find salvation from alcohol. Therefore, our own recovery and spiritual growth have to come first -- a right and necessary kind of self-concern. As Bill Sees It Page 81 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Few Quotes “One of the greatest sources of insecurity and frustration is our tendency to try and change things that we don't have any control of.” ~ Ryan Help “How many times have we attempted the impossible and tried to change other people. Often this ends up being an exercise of frustration as attempting to change others truly is a waste of time!” ~ Catherine Pulsifer
