A Thought to Share With All of You...
My brother, a veteran AA member, just shared this one with me, and I felt the need to pass it on to all of you....
An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there's a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It's Anger, Jealousy, Greed, Resentment, Inferiority, Lies, and Ego. The other is Good. It's Joy, Peace, Love, Hope, Humility, Kindness, Empathy, and Truth." The grandson thought about it and asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Best of luck staying sober today.

One of my favorite parables....

What we choose to focus on is what usually manifests in our lives.

Thanks for posting.

Just a friendly reminder, and a mental image to retain.

That is a great saying camedown. I think I have heard it before in a meeting as well , but it's been a long time.

God bless.
