We Have Calls!
Alex From Austin
Use the slogan: Do the next right thing.
You don’t have to do everything at once, just a decision to do the next right thing.
Making decisions lead to happiness, the key to happiness.
Happiness is not pleasure.
Pleasure only occurs during the moment.
Taking a nap brings happiness during the moment, not so much afterward.
Happiness lasts beyond the moment.
I rarely look forward to working out.
But after I make the next right thing and decide to go to the gym.
I feel great after and for the rest of the day.
Happiness lasts beyond the moment of the workout.
It is the result of making right decisions.
Big Book References
p. 86
In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while.
Doctor’s Opinion
the psychopaths who are emotionally unstable. We are all familiar with this type. They are always "going on the wagon for keeps." They are over-remorseful and make many resolutions, but never a decision.
p. 64
Though our decision was a vital and crucial step, it could have little permanent effect unless at once followed by a strenuous effort to face, and to be rid of, the things in ourselves which had been blocking us. Our liquor was but a symptom. So we had to get down to causes and conditions.
