WHAT I LEARNED: I think there ought to be a second part to Step 6 that says: “…and we were entirely ready to embrace all of our character assets!”

MTG – Orlando – “Easy Does It”
WHAT I LEARNED: 1. Al-Anon is many things to many people. It reminds me of the poem, “The Blind Men & the Elephant” by John Godfrey Saxe – only without the disputing of opinions! 2. My favorite line from the book study tonight is from page 107 from “Opening Our Hearts, Transforming Our Losses” (item #…
MTG – Orlando – “Together Tuesdays AFG”
WHAT I LEARNED: An “-ism” stands for: I Sabotage Myself.
MTG – Orlando – “Easy Does It”
WHAT I LEARNED: Wise words: “…what we resist persists.” (See page 18 from “Opening Our Hearts, Transforming Our Losses” (item # B-29).) Even wiser words: “Resistance is futile.” (See probably any sci-fi movie trailer.) I need to get back to Step One & wave the white flag of surrender.
Gratitude Dinner – 10/19/13
WHAT I LEARNED: Most of my great “leaps” in service work have been with Orlando’s District 10. Speaking at their Gratitude Dinner last night was no exception & I owe them a big THANK YOU!!! The best perk that I didn’t expect: being able to start the food line (instead of being last like usual)! Ha…
MTG – Orlando – “Paths to Recovery”
WHAT I LEARNED: Sometimes it’s the smallest choices that turn out to have the biggest impact.

WHAT I LEARNED: Instead of trying to find out what makes me happy, I can find out what makes me miserable & stop doing those things!
MTG – Orlando – “Today’s Hope AFG”
WHAT I LEARNED: 1. I was a speaker again tonight & now I know the term I was looking for the other day that describes the feeling at the end of my story – when people come up to me with tears in their eyes – & the person I thought I was not reaching,…
MTG – Ocoee – “Monday Miracles”
WHAT I LEARNED: Nowhere in Tradition 7 is the word “money” or “financial.” Another way to look at it is I, & the groups I attend, can be “self-supporting” emotionally, spiritually & through participating in service work.
MTG – Orlando – “Easy Does It”
WHAT I LEARNED: “Today” is a word I need to use more often in order to gain perspective. If I’m not having a great day, I’m only having it …“today.” It’s not going to be for the whole week/month/year. It reminds me tomorrow can always be different.
MTG – Orlando – “College Park 12 Step”
WHAT I LEARNED: Today I learned the 9 best words in the program! Contact me through the “comments” section if you’d like to know what they are. 🤫
MTG – Orlando – “Today’s Hope AFG”
WHAT I LEARNED: Sometimes the “gifts” I get from this program are actual physical possessions that I can carry around with me. Thank you for the one I got at this meeting tonight because I know I will treasure it for a long time to come!
