Have you ever wondered why after going to A.A. for a period of time you here something for the 100th time and it finally sinks in?

I'm just coming to realize that this program isn't all about me. Imagine that! In order for myself to function in a peaceful, serene environment I need to get the hell out of myself, and quick. My life depends on it. I'm sick and tired of looking at my failings. I need to focus on God's blessings. What can I do to help someone else? Can I compliment those around me and enrichen their lives? Can I go to work to be of service to others and not primarily for a paycheck? Can I be a friend? Can I be a brother, or a son who's not looking for the next handout? Can I live without not looking for the next compliment or recognition from others?

These are all thoughts running through my head right now. And it feels good. I am beginning to feel the nearness of my Creator for the first time in way toooooooo long. All of this can change tomorrow. All I know is this is what recovery for me is all about, life for that matter is all about.

Is it just possible the onion is beginning to peel?
