Feb. 18, 2017 - Readings in Recovery: The Eye Opener

The Eye Opener
Saturday, Feb. 18, 2017
 
The Program is often referred to as a Selfish Program, and it is primarily that. Jesus of Nazareth told us to "Love our neighbors AS ourselves." We are supposed to love ourselves, and in so doing, we should give to ourselves all the happiness we can. We have found out, however, by practical application, that we can only receive happiness if we give happiness.

We should fulfill all our duties to our families, to our communities and to our neighbors so that we can keep in the good graces of our own conscience, for that is the only avenue of approach to happiness and peace of mind.

If you really love that guy in the mirror, you must of necessity love your Creator and your neighbor.
