QUESTION ::: What are some of the behaviors, marked by insanity, would you like to see restored to sanity?
Featured Comment ::: “When I have negative thoughts I follow them and I let them carry me through that continuous cycle of one negative thought after another. When I started thinking of politics this morning I realized how angry that makes me and I sit in it like a fly on you know what. I’d also like to learn how to drink 1 cup of coffee once in a while and not like 4. This just really affects my nerves and doesn’t help my sobriety at all. And it is just lovely that every fricken meeting has a huge coffee pot. Like that is supposed to help.” – Adam
Question::: What would looking in the same direction of your own Loving Higher Power look like for you? Featured Comment by Jon G. ::: "Looking in the same direction of my loving higher power would involve constantly and vigilantly lookin' for opportunities to get out of myself and be of service to others.

Generosity Question ::: “When have you given freely, lately?”
Featured Comment by Adam ::: “I often help clean up after meetings. Chairs away, etc. Washed coffee cups a few nights ago. I always put at least $2 in the basket, one for me and one for someone who can’t pay. I tip well outside of AA every day.”

What does the acronym HOW, stand for and how does “perfection” factor into spiritual principles discussed?
Featured Comment from Adam – “Honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness and it takes work to make sure I am these as much as possible. I think the sfz means we are willing to grow along spiritual lines. Ultimately I won’t stay sober if I don’t grow in this area.”
