Fellow Traveler: Progress not Perfection
http://ftaca.blogspot.com/p/keep-track-of-your-progress.html
We suggest you keep track of what you do in recovery. On a bad day, you forget how far you've come. Give yourself little presents after you've attended six meetings, for example. The ACA text encourages us to take "gentleness breaks." We ACA's are very hard on ourselves. We can't emphasize it enough: Keep track of what you do. Reward yourself for each and every accomplishment. Read literature (buy ACA books here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We pass on the gift of recovery which was given to each us us.

A Journey...: I Believed
http://zebraspolkadotsandplaids.blogspot.com/p/i-believed.html
An amazing journey of hope, healing and self discovery! Seek Knowledge, find Wisdom, live your Truth™. My version of the Patrick Overton poem. When I came to the edge of all the light that I had and I had to take a step into the darkness of the unknown, I truly believed that one of two things would happen to me; either there would be something to stand on, or, I would be taught how to fly. And began to soar. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe to our mailing list. Follow me on Twitter. To create your o...
