Kitchen Table Suggestions

I asked Ebby to repeat once more what he had said over my kitchen table
in Brooklyn that first time he told me how he had gotten sober.
"Well," he said, "you know,
you get honest with yourself;
you make a self-survey;
you talk it out with the other guy;
you quit living alone and
begin to get straight with the world around by making restitution;
you try the kind of giving that demands no reward
either in approval, prestige, or money; and
you ask whatever higher power there is,
even if it is just an experiment,to help you find the grace to be released from alcoholism."

Every recovery from alcoholism began with one sober hour.



We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.

Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise.
