iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Of all the lessons I've learned in my career at Menninger's, two have stayed with me. 1. Treat everyone with dignity and respect. 2. All thoughts and feelings are allowed, actions are limited. They've shaped how I work with people in all my roles.

"We finally saw that faith in some kind of God was a part of our make-up. Sometimes we had to search persistently, but He was there. He was as much a fact as we were. We found the Great Reality deep down within us." AA p. 55 #RecoveryPosse #Sobriety #SoberSky

"Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends—this is an experience you must not miss. We know you will not want to miss it." AA, p. 89 #RecoveryPosse #Sobriety #SoberSky

"The unique ability of each A.A. to identify himself with, and bring recovery to, the newcomer in no way depends upon his learning, his eloquence, or any special individual skills. The only thing that matters is that he is an alcoholic who has found a key to sobriety." 12&12 p 150 #SoberSky

We lose the fear of making decisions, great and small, as we realize that should our choice prove wrong we can, if we will, learn from the experience. Should our decision be the right one, we can thank God for giving us the courage and the grace that caused us so to act. Letter, 1966 #SoberSky

What I've learned is that it doesn't matter what hardships and losses I've endured in sobriety, I have not had to go back to drinking. As long as I work the program, keep being of service, go to meetings, and keep my spiritual life together, I can live a decent life. AA, p. 485 #SoberSky
