wisdom for the day

I have made many thousands of meetings. I developed a habit of note taking sometimes since covid hit.. Short Notes that are informative, inspirational or just plain common sense for me for living sober that struck me at the time.I will try to come by weekly and post a few of them for others consideration..I have 23 pages so far so it may take a while.

enjoy your journey

is it better to feel good or live good?

It is the selfishness I do not know I have that may kill me or get me drunk.

My self deception keeps me believing my lies to myself and others(my dishonesty)

"is it better to feel good or live good?"

For me living good makes me feel good.

I too feel uplifted and happy when my life consists of doing all the good I can, in any way I can, at any time I can. And if I can't do any good, then at least I will do no harm. Like the doctors' first oath is to - First, Do No Harm - Primum Non Nocere - I like it in latin but not sure how to pronounce it right.

ty freedom 1990 and everyone,Just to say,this isn`t my stuff,just stuff from the others ,like yall.

my old wants was like a bottomless black hole,they could never be filled,I was always wanting something else when the new wore off.

good principles comes before good motives

my defects were there before I took the first drink

my struggle and fight is against self,not them

I can`t fix what I can`t see,and I can`t see what I don`t look at

never let how I feel determine how I live

a period of reconstruction seems to be a constant deconstruction of the old self

we need some training to live in the solution
