Something I learned from a non CAL book..modified post!!


Something I read about what I practice......and here is MY esh only on what i think about what i practice...what i do repeatedly.....if i do the same negative thing over and over, its crazy to expect different results....different outcome...If I keep enabling my A's, over and over, it usually does not result in their seeing they have problems and reach out to recovery.......

so I pay attention to what I PRACTICE...am i practicing Isolation, then I will being about constant lonliness....Am i practicing resentment??? then life will always bring me more to fortify my resentment......what i practice, I become...so if i can become negative...why not replace that negative by practicing that which is ppositive??????

look for and practice finding  beauty, and beauty will find me.....give and look for love and compassion and I will receive it from my safe others....what i put out...i receive.....

What i practice today is what I become tomorrow....in alanon, i practice to LET GO that which i cannot control, so being powerless is less scary.....practice detachment so i am not in the habit of absorbing another's life lessons and their painful lessons......Practice maintaining my boundaries so they come natural for me in caring for me.......I am what I practice...what i practice becomes a habit...my habits become my character.....I must replace the old, sick things i was practicing by doing repetitively  by practicing healthy thoughts which beget better emotions, which bring about better action, which create better habits and thus a more healed and healthy character

RE: A good reminder from Days of Healing Days of Joy


Neshema I believe that using CAL is the best way to maintain the Alanon Traditions on the Board.
This saying is the same as saying insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
