“Keep your thoughts positive because

YOUR THOUGHTS BECOME YOUR WORDS.

Keep your words positive because

YOUR WORDS BECOME YOUR BEHAVIOR.

Keep your behavior positive because

YOUR BEHAVIOR BECOMES YOUR HABITS.

Keep your habits positive because

YOUR HABITS BECOME YOUR VALUES.

Keep your values positive because

YOUR VALUES BECOME YOUR DESTINY.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

Serenity prayer

        God, give me grace to accept with serenity
        the things that cannot be changed,
        Courage to change the things
        which should be changed,
        and the Wisdom to distinguish
        the one from the other.

        Living one day at a time,
        Enjoying one moment at a time,
        Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
        Taking, as Jesus did,
        This sinful world as it is,
        Not as I would have it,
        Trusting that You will make all things right,
        If I surrender to Your will,
        So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
        And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

        Amen.

Below are the 12 steps taught at alaon meetings.. I substituted MLC or Mlcer in the 1st step. These basic priciples can be used for any addiction or difficulty to help overcome it. I attended these meetings years ago due to being an Adult Child of an Alcholic (ACOA) .


These Twelve Steps, adapted nearly word-for-word from the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, have been a tool for spiritual growth for millions of Al‑Anon/Alateen members.

At meetings, Al‑Anon/Alateen members share with each other the personal lessons they have learned from practicing from these Steps.

The Twelve Steps is one of Al‑Anon’s three Legacies, along with Al‑Anon’s Twelve Traditions and Twelve Concepts of Service.




Twelve Steps
 1) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol (MLC or Mlcer)—that our lives had become unmanageable.

2)Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3)Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5) Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6) Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7) Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10) Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11) Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12) Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
