My life is none of my business. I just suit up, show up; be an example of AA and leave the rest to God. - Sharon B.

Was told this by my spiritual advisor many years ago. Suit up, show up, and the rest will follow. If you have recovery, show it. Clean up your mouth, clean up your mouth, clean up your act, work the steps, and before you know it, you will see God working in your life.

Walk Softly and carry a Big Book - Quote:

Encouragement from an old-timer can turn a newcomer's life around.

I was told to stick with the old-timers. I said, "Where do you find them. I had trouble finding the women, unless you went to their group, and you knew what group they belong to, you were out of luck. I was fortunate, back then I was able to travel and went from one end of the city to the other. I said, "God you protect me in the day, so I need you to protect me in the night. I need to go out to these meetings. Please take away the fear, lead, guide and protect in all things, Amen. In the 12 years all I met up with was a drunk passed out between the apartment doors in my building. I learned to walk tall with confidence, be my own person, own my own space, and walked like I had a right to be there and knew were I was going, to an AA meeting and no one was going to stand in my way. A little faith will take you a long way.
