Brace Your Mind In the hours of calamity, when life seems to be breaking all about you, brace your mind by taking a look over the past. There have been occasions when it seemed all hope was gone, but things turned out rather well. There have been other times when you have almost lost hope, and yet you survived. Do you not remember how strength came to you from unexpected sources and carried you through the situation that looked impossible? Do you not recall other instances in which you were as frightened as you are today? Yet here you are, having survived to face this new cristis. It held true then; it is still true. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this is another AA literature lil book from 1948, the original was 1945.

To a desolate person an act of kindness can be the difference between getting bitter and getting better..............

Yes. Each time I go through something that is difficult, and make it through by following suggestions, following the principles, reaching out and using the other tools available to me, I gain experience. This experience not only helps me through my next adventure but it gives me experience to share with another to show them that this program works, when you work it. Thanks Carrie. What is the name of this lil book?

The name of this lil book is Emergency Rations..............................dates back to the 1940's......its late or i could see the date in the book, i will let you know for sure tomorrow...its a great lil book, very small in size actually. But on it's pages are old=time AA shtuff, the kind this program is truly made of, and I've been reluctant to post alot of it, as this lil book references God, and for alot of newcomers, it is a hard concept at first......i was hoping the icon i used meant a type of warning....any suggestions? I could do a spiritual warning if you'd like, for me, it has GREAT SHTUFF and I'd love to share it with ya's hops away to get some sleep.......
