    I AM A WOMAN OF RECOVERY

    I bleed for the joy and understanding of Life. My deepest thrill is to make you smile. Laugh. Joy.

    I’ve come to understand you through the quiet of mind. With the past behind me, and the future undone,

    I ask to be Quiet. Breathe in peace; Breathe out love.

    I was unknown to recovery, Seeking balance in life. An obsession so deep- Unknown to the mind,

    Unbroken by soul. Body rejects allergen,

    Subtly begins chemical disturbances. A craving develops and takes master,

    Leaving an unfit spirit to run wild and free.

    Now left out of balance, Mind irrationalizes warnings.

    Faster and faster, The compulsion to act,

    Instead of to think. Unmanageability sets in

    Unable to distinguish value from joy. My body craves excitement, And my mind fears suicide-

    Incongruent option of escape.

    I am a woman of Recovery. Today I know there is more to it

    Than weakness and fear.

    Watt Ave CDRP, Sought by way of psychiatric needs,

    Became that first step to truly finding me. Though the search is not over

    What I have learned there is plenty. To begin living how I deserve to be;

    I could see you and others, But no, not me.

    No credits and co-dependent, -The mind-battles and anger-

    Overcome denial, self-destruction, and fear. I let them all love me,

    Until I could finally see. I am a miracle!

    Worthy of self-love and serenity. Continued pg. 14

    A.A. Teleservice Needs YOU!!

    “I can’t explain why I didn’t hang up. I

    just sat there on the floor, with the

    receiver to my ear. The next thing I

    heard was “Good afternoon. Alcohol-

    ics Anonymous. May we help you?”

    “Came to Believe” PG 23

    Alcoholics Anonymous Teleservice, also known as the A.A. hotline, serves alcoholics who are in need of help. We help

    them to locate meetings in their area or provide them with someone to talk to in times of crisis.

    This is a great way to be of service to your fellow alcoholics. All you need is the use of a phone and a current

    meeting schedule. From the comfort of your own home on a landline telephone or even while you’re out and about with the use of a cell phone you can be of service.

    We would love to have you join our team. If you have at least six (6) months of sobriety and would like to be of service please contact Central Office at 916-454-1771 or email: [email protected]

    A. Chairperson Report-Welcome to the December CCF Delegate’s Meeting. The last meeting of the year and my last one as chair for the past two years! I attended the OOC meeting on Tuesday December 17, it was the shortest one of the year, Steve will give his report on that. I want to say thank you for allowing me this opportunity to work with all of you by electing me to this position, it has been one of my most difficult service positions and my most enjoyable one! I was told when I first started that by the time it was over is when I would feel I knew what I was doing and this is the absolute truth, it took the first year and a half to get comfortable and now it is time to hand it over to John! Well it has been a great two years and I am still sober! I look forward to seeing you all in the new year only this time as a delegate.

    - alcoholism-

    (al-kuh-hall-iz-um)

    Mental-physical dependence

    on, and compulsive use of,

    alcoholic drinks

    Twelve & Twelve page - 23

    Grapevine Quotes

    Still it took me a while to see how bad it had been. I had simply gotten

    used to it over the years. My demise hadn’t happened overnight, and I

    suppose that deep down inside I hated myself so much—the true spiritual

    malady as I see it now—that I unconsciously believed I didn’t deserve better.

    Listening to someone else’s sharing in a meeting a few months into

    AA, having stayed away from the first drink a day at a time, it suddenly hit

    me how much pain I had suffered, how close to death I had been, what a

    nightmare these years had been.

    And it was soon after that incident that the miracle happened. I

    became willing to face the pain of my life without a drink; the fear of drinking

    became bigger than the fear of life without drink. When I surrendered to the

    fact that alcohol was greater than myself, accepted life without ever drinking

    again, the compulsion was removed, left me, as if it had never been there.

    Some people have choices, and I had lost the power to choose. From

    Day One of my drinking career I had known that alcohol didn’t agree with my

    system, and that I didn’t have the ability to exercise choice over drink. Lack of

    power had been my problem, and recovery to me has meant to regain power.

    The Best of Grapevine ~Step One-ADMITTING POWERLESSNESS pg. 186

    THE GREAT REALITY DEEP WITHIN

    I believe I am—as are we all—endowed with a powerful Truth that can

    potentially envelop our false ego that tells us to drink. The Big Book tags it

    as: “The Great Reality deep within.” (p. 55) Some think of this spirit as “Soul”

    or “God Self.” This True Self has the benevolent potentiality to encompass

    and overcome our false ego-driven self. This Great Reality could be thought

    of as an OVERSELF, if you will. However, this remarkable blessing is

    manifested only so long as alcoholics remain in a fit spiritual condition. (p. 85)

    It has become AA cliché: “An alcoholic cannot drink on the truth—only on a lie.” My false

    self usually believes what it wants to believe regardless of anything that stands in the way of

    that first drink—it has the unique capacity to believe a lie, even when it knows it’s a lie. The

    Big Book calls this: “alcoholic insanity.” (p. 9) For me, this resulted in twenty-four

    unsuccessful years of ‘quitting drinking forever.’

    However, after a year or so of living in the spirit of the Twelve Steps, this Great Reality

    (0verself) magically enveloped (ate) my false ego self. Now drinking alcohol no longer

    remains in my emotional vocabulary! Seemingly gone! As the Tenth Step promise, promises:

    The problem (mental obsession) has been removed! (p. 85) (Removed yes, but still lurking!)

    Possible explanation: Just as darkness cannot penetrate the light, a lie (mental obsession)

    cannot penetrate the Truth. In a word: “The True Self gobbles up the false self and sets us

    free.”

    The First Step

    The First Concept

    Final responsibility and ultimate authority for A.A. world services

    should always reside in the collective conscience of our whole

    Fellowship.

    Concept One, (Short Form from Big Book)

    The First Tradition

    Each member of Alcoholics

    Anonymous is but a small part of a

    great whole. A.A. must continue to

    live or most of us will surely die.

    Hence our common welfare comes

    first. But individual welfare follows

    close afterward.

    Twelve Traditions (The Long Form) from the Big Book

    Thus has it been with A.A. By faith and by

    works we have been able to build upon

    the lessons of an incredible experience.

    They live today in the Twelve Traditions

    of Alcoholics Anonymous, Which--- God

    willing--shall sustain us in unity for so

    long as He may need us.

    Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions pg. 131

    “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol --that our lives

    had become unmanageable.”

    Who cares to admit complete defeat? Admission of powerlessness is

    the first step in liberation. Relation of humility to sobriety. Mental

    obsession plus physical allergy. Why must every A.A. hit bottom?

    Upon entering A.A. we soon take quite another view of this absolute

    humiliation. We perceive that only through utter defeat are we able to

    take our first steps toward liberation and strength. Our admissions of

    personal powerlessness finally turn out to be firm bedrock upon

    which happy and purposeful lives may be built. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions- pg. 5 & 21

    Continued from pg. 1

    My Joy is all encompassing, As I learn I am me, and trust you are you.

    With healing comes gifts, Those “thats” and “desires” Fade with every new Light.

    In a convincing promise,

    One day at a time, My God does for me what I cannot do for myself.

    The universe, the true spirit, a healing power. An Energy connecting my rooted compassion

    Through Love and into Service.

    For all those who still suffer: Fear. Denial. Hate.

    May this message nourish your spirit, And firmly plant a seed,

    Just wait and see! A new, progressive Freedom CAN grow.

    I am a Woman of Recovery

    In Love and in Peace, Because I took the advice

    To pause and release.

    With an Eye to the Future: G.S.O. Staff Positions

    We are beginning to update our file of applications from A.A. members who are interested in being considered for possible future openings for the position of G.S.O. staff member. The basic criteria include a minimum of six years continuous sobriety; a background in service at the group and possibly district and area levels; business or professional experience; and excellent communication skills. Another consideration is a willingness to relocate to New York, if necessary.

Additionally, they represent G.S.O. at A.A. functions throughout the U.S. and Canada and provide the primary staff support for the General Service Board. Currently there are 13 staff members who cover a variety of assignments such as: Accessibilities/Remote Communities, Public Information, Literature, Cooperation with the Professional Community, Corrections, International and the General Service Conference. If you are interested or would like more information, please write to: Staff Coordinator, Box 459, Grand Central Station, New York, NY 10163 or email [email protected].
