Saying
 

Having been in recovery a while now, I realise there is much that I can do by action and do do by example to those in early days. One of these is to say 'nothing' if I do not have anything positive to say.

Wise words Kevin. I'm getting a bit better at 'not saying.' At least I'm not opening my mouth to swap feet these days.

lol cc :) yep those feet :)

trying....LOL.

D

trying is all we can do :)

whats that thing we're suppose to gauge our speech with?....


"Is it kind. Is it helpful. Is it necessary. Does it improve on the silence."

yep that fits, thanks cc :)

I'm trying too. Still learning.

Good advice. Just like Grandma said. "If you can't say nothing nice to someone, don't say anything at all".

I think i remember that right.

Heard in a meeting today " I don't want to be in the gutter. I want to be a chandlier." That got me thinking....if you keep going to meetings you won't be in the gutter, and you won't want to be a chandlier either. Just happy to be who you are........

Yep, I think that's the key to this recovery thing, cc :)

Yeah, it's a nice change too, Dee. Because I know I always wanted to be a chandlier :lmao before recovery......just wasn't sparkly enough.

:tapedshut

And...

If you can't help someone, don't hurt them.

Heard somewhere.
