Remember To Remember
 
Whether we are a newcomer or a cranky old timer, we need to remember.  Father Tom reminds us that almost all we need to know to stay sober was told to us in the first 90 days of recovery.  We come in to the rooms with very bad attitudes and the Steps meet us right where we are.  And we get well.  Remember to remember this.  
Our stories are important for us to remember, and important for others to hear.   We need to remember that God works directly with each one of us and that we do not need to define a higher power to tap in to the source.  Remember to ask for help throughout the day.
Father Tom reminds us to get out of our head and our comfort zone.  Ours is a program of action. Be aware of what we are remembering – is it gratitude or past hurts?
Remember to embrace change and be willing to be uncomfortable.  Remember that the comfort will return.  Remember that we are not alone.  And remember to pass it on. (01/13)
