daily reflections for May 27-NO MAUDLIN GUILT | Milkman's Sober Living:
No Maudlin Guilt

As Bill Sees It,p.15
When I first discovered that there is not a single "don't" in the Twelve Steps of A.A., I was disturbed because this discovery swung open a giant portal. Only then was I able to realize what A.A. is for me.
A.A. is not a program of "don't's" but of "do's."
A.A. is not martial law; it is freedom.
A.A. is not tears over defects, but sweat over fixing them.
A.A. is not penitence; it is salvation.
A.A. is not "Woe to me" for my sins, past and present.
A.A. is "Praise God" for the progress I am making today.
Daily Recovery Meditations and daily thoughts while reflecting on recovery. Many of these thoughts are from forums and sites that I've created and managed since January 29, 2004. Some are from my own thoughts as they were at those times and some very recent. I believe that sharing thoughts with others reaffirms to me that I've grown in my recovery and I pray that these thoughts may be of help to others in recovery.
