"More than most people, the alcoholic leads a double life. He is very much the actor. To the outer world he presents his stage character. This is the one he likes his fellows to see. He wants to enjoy a certain reputation, but knows in his heart he doesn't deserve it." AA, p. 73 #SoberSky

"Once more: The alcoholic at certain times has no effective mental defense against the first drink. Except in a few rare cases, neither he nor any other human being can provide such a defense. His defense must come from a Higher Power." AA, p. 43 #RecoveryPosse #Sobriety #SoberSky

I was raised in Kansas, where flip flops were called thongs, we don't have fireflies, we have "lightnin bugs", we don't have cray fish in creeks, we have "craw dads" in the "crick", "taters" are mandatory, chicken is fried, biscuits come with gravy,

"Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that. It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous. There you will find release from care, boredom and worry. Your imagination will be fired. Life will mean something at last. The most satisfactory years of your existence lie ahead." AA, p. 152

. . . he has struck something better than gold . . . He may not see at once that he has barely scratched a limitless lode which will pay dividends only if he mines it for the rest of his life and insists on giving away the entire product. AA, p. 129 #RecoveryPosse #Sobriety #SoberSky

Happy Tuesday, it's a great day to be sober 😊 It was discovered that when one alcoholic had planted in the mind of another the true nature of his malady, that person could never be the same again. 12&12 p23 #RecoveryPosse #Sobriety #SoberSky

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.

Grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference. These thoughts become part of our daily lives. They are not ideas of resignation but of the recognition of certain basic facts of living. #RecoveryPosse #SoberSky

We are convinced that a spiritual mode of living is most powerful restorative. We, who have recovered from serious drinking, are miracles of mental health. But we have seen remarkable transformations in our bodies. Hardly one of our crowd now shows any mark of dissipation. AA pg 133 #SoberSky

Happy Saturday, it's a great day to be sober 😊 Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, remember how far you have come. #RecoveryPosse #Sobriety #SoberSky
