TO ACCEPT YOURSELF BEGIN IN THE HEART –
“Changing such self-
defeating attitudes is es-
sential to recovery … .” “We
are seeking genuine change,
not denial. And the first step in
changing our attitudes is be-
coming aware of them, a pro-
cess that rarely happens
overnight.” (How Al
Anon Works, p. 77)
CUZ “PNP” (PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION) GETS US WHERE WE NEED TO BE –
“The point is, that
we are willing to grow
along spiritual lines. The
principles we have set down
are guides to progress. We
claim spiritual progress ra
ther than spiritual per
fection.” (The Big
Book, p. 60)
“In a country that was built on a protest.” “You say to protest is wrong because you spoke out of turn. Because you spoke up for people that were marginalized … you spoke up for people that we don’t want to care about. In a country built on people who speak out of turn, who spoke out of turn, who thought out of turn, to build a nation. I come from a long line of people who have resisted.” – Rep. Justin J. Pearson on desire (1994 – ) was one of two Black representatives expelled from the Tennessee state house on 4/6/2023. The firsts since the Civil War.
