HAPPY, JOYOUS AND FREE
Good Morning!!!
God grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change;
Courage to change
the things I can;
and Wisdom
to know the difference.
Thy will, not mine, be done.

HAPPY, JOYOUS AND FREE
We are sure God wants us to be
happy, joyous, and free.
We cannot subscribe to the belief
that this life is a vale of tears,
though it once was just that for many of us.
But it is clear that we made our own misery.
God didn’t do it.
Avoid then,
the deliberate manufacture of misery,
but if trouble comes,
cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity
to demonstrate His omnipotence.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 133
For years I believed in a punishing God
and blamed Him for my misery.
I have learned that I must lay down the “weapons” of self
in order to pick up the “tools” of the A.A. program.
I do not struggle with the program because it is a gift
and I have never struggled when receiving a gift.
If I sometimes keep on struggling,
it is because I’m still hanging onto my old ideas
and “........the results are nil.”
