information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I am so grateful for my cell phone these days. It does more for me than I realized. I used to almost hate it because it is touch screen & I almost always seem to touch the wrong thing. But, not these days! I am so glad that I can record like on a tape recorder my favorite songs & all. I couldn't possibly record every song I like but some on some of my favorite CDs! I enjoy music more than most things. Reading is OK but I feel sometimes that it is hard for me to read like it is hard for me to write. I have trouble w/ long hand. So, I still occasionally do a crossword or read a lot of my different 12-step literature. I hope this isn't out of line but I receive the Grapevine Quote of the Day on my email. I am so glad that I have all kinds of ways to get recovery. It helps to have the slogans on my phone. I don't have them named but when I need them they are always there. I really like the way my voice sounds on the recording. I guess I didn't like it before. So, back to Al anon. I even have a really cool recording of the Serenity Prayer. I feel so close to my HP that I can see how HE works when I let Him. The serenity prayer is a life-saver. It works in anyone's life even though it is an old poem from a long time ago. It fits in any situation.
I agree. The serenity prayers can be used in all situations and it works Thanks for the reminder about the "Thought for the Day from the Grapevine, and how that and all the slogans do come together to build a strong program
I have a mobile app from Al-Anon in Baton Rouge. (http://www.batonrougealanon.org/index.html) It is a free app, which is a bonus.
It has a daily quote, daily sharings and daily reflections from Al-Anon and Alateen. It also has the steps, traditions, prayers and slogans. It's really convenient to have it with me wherever I go.
Perhaps it might be as helpful to some others here as it has been for me.
