August 15 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON
August 15 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
Each of us has, as a person, an enormous potential. Many of our frustrations come from not making the most of ourselves and getting out of life what is has to give, ready and waiting for us to accept.
Although we come into Al-Anon to deal with a specific problem, we do not always realize that developing ourselves could be the answer, not only to the problem of living with alcoholism, but to others as well.
The solutions rest with me. With the help of my Higher Power, I can adorn my life with comfort, serenity and enjoyment. It does not depend on any other person, and the sooner I accept this fact, the sooner I will be able to face myself realistically.
TODAY’S REMINDER
People can affect me only as I allow them to. I need not be influenced by others, for I am free to consult my own wishes and standards, and decide what is best for me. I find I can realize my own strength and confidence by working faithfully with the /al-Anon program, and using it in my daily life.
“…the only real answer to frustration is to concern myself with the drawing forth of what is uniquely me. This gives me the impulse and the courage to act constructively on the outside world.” (Robert K. Greenleaf)
