HAVE CLEARLY DEFINED EXPECTATIONS. 2. CLEARLY DEFIENED CONSEQUENCES THAT DON’T DISRUPT YOUR SERENITY. 3. SET THEM CLEARLY. 4. COMMUNICATE THEM CLEARLY. 5. ENFORCE THEM CONSISTENTLY 6. WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE RELATIONSHIP (RELEASE ANY EXPECTATIONS) SAY WHAT U MEAN & DON’T SAY IT MEANLY QTIP – QUIT TAKING IT PERSONALLY three C’s “GTS” – THE GETTING THEM SOBER CLUB didn’t cause it FIRST THINGS FIRST – LOVE YOURSELF can’t control it EASY DOES IT cannot cure it! ONE DAY AT A TIME LIVE & LET LIVE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD (THERE GO I - IT COULD BE ME) JUST FOR TODAY 1. I WILL USE MY PROGRAM HALT FEAR 2. I WILL BE GOOD TO MYSELF & RELAX Hungry? Future 3.

I WILL PRAISE & THANK GOD Let the Understanding, Peace, & Love of the Program work in YOU each day. Take what you like & leave the rest. You cannot expect different results without different actions – behaviors. Progress not perfection. PhD: Patience, Peace, hope, Direction, Determination Slogans ~ Easy Does It ~ Keep It Simple ~ How Important Is It? ~ First Things First ~ Live And Let Live ~ ~ One Day At A Time ~ Let Go And Let God ~ But For The Grace Of God, there go I ~ Think!

"You can't control the wind but you can set your sails." "The mind is like a parachute, it works best when open." "Thank You God for reminding me not to interfere with Your Divine Plan." "Listen not to criticisms or accolades both take you off your path." "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be." If you are looking in the past or the future, you're not living in the now. The present is a gift. Live for today. Be gentle with yourself. Let it begin with me: When anyone, anywhere reaches out for help - let the hand of Al-Anon & Alateen always be there and - Let it Begin With Me. “In recovery we’re all like infants, first we crawl then we can stand. We take steps & learn to walk before we can run free.” __________________ Light, Love, Peace, Blessings & Healing to Us All. God's Will Be Done. Amen.

We had some lay-offs today, the guys I work with probably think I have finally lost it! Ha! I am so glad you are back... - r __________________ "Good judgement comes from experience... experience comes from bad judgement" - unknown
