| Awakening | Brief Overview |
|---|---|
| AA and I At One | I believe many of us which have chosen to practice this A.A. Program as a way of life, believing it to be our Creator’s Will for us, as we understand it. Created in the image and likeness of the greatest Spiritual Teacher ever, realizing we have some characteristics in common; Love, Healing, Forgiveness, Teaching, Awakening, Empowering, Enlightening, Enriching, Communicating, and Co-creating. These characteristics fulfill my heart’s desire. |
| 001 Upon Awakening | Al Kohallek (Alcoholic) asked Lou-is Pazeniton (Lou is passing it on) for an affirmation, prayer or something to start the day when he first awakened. Otherwise, whatever his mood was when he awakened colored his whole day. The following was Lou-is suggestion. |
| 002 Because I Have Received | Whatever we receive we must pass it on to keep it or increase it |
| 003 Are you limiting your gifts? | Are You Fishing For Whales Or Minnows? |
| 004 Guilt And Punishment The Drug of choice | The most widely used drug is Guilt and Punishment - It is a temporary fix. |
| 005 Gift Of Denial | Denial can be a special gift of grace. |
| 006 A 40-Day TriPartnership | A great way to work through a project (like the 12 Steps of our Program). |
| 007 Back To The Basics | These Three Spiritual Gifts Are The Real UnSpoken Basics. Yes, we understand that we have to consider our primary addiction but these Spiritual Gifts go to the core of life without them, we are Powerless, Loveless and unable to practice being the created individual we are. |
| 008 Building Equivalents | It is wonderful to have a Spiritual Awakening but a better one to stay awaken and practice that awakening Spiritual, mental, physical, emotional and social equivalents. |
| 009 Chip Away All That Is Not | Part of the healing process of our Program is to chip away all that is not our individual Created self. |
| 010 Anyway | People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered, Love Them Anyway |
| 011 Disempowering Habits | Sharing some ideas about using our program, Alcoholics Anonymous to enable us to “practice these principles in all our affairs.” |
| 012 AA PREAMBLE ( A PARODY ) | In case you didn't know, Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship designed to administer to a bunch of ex drunks whose only qualifications for membership is that they cannot hold their liquor and don't want to learn how. |
| 013 I must have decided | In this human condition our power is most often determined by our decisions. |
| 014 If You Were Busy | If we would busy ourselves giving away everything we want, like love, forgiveness, kindness, understanding, we would find ourselves living the life we dreamed of. |
| 015 Just An Un-Traditional Reminder | We can use our Twelve Tradition like our Twelve Steps for all areas of our lives. We can use these powerful Traditions in this human condition for all types of relationships. |
| 016 Let's Set The Record Stright | We have failed many times, but we are not failures. We have been foolish, but we are not fools. |
| 017 Love Your Enemies | A wise Teacher once said that we need to love our enemy, and Emmet Fox once wrote that our only real enemy is our fear, so how am I to love fear? |
| 018 Old dogs new tricks! | However, we are not old dogs nor is our Alcoholics Anonymous Program, or our Workbooks or our Workshops a trick. |
| 019 Paradigm Shift | Alcoholics Anonymous – A New Paradigm for many = A new Worldview based on much of what is not new, hidden maybe but never lost – is reawakening. |
