Daily reading for January 31 from “As If I Was In Your Office…”
The Truth Will Set You Free “We had lost the power to know what to do or how to do it.” Fr. Paul – Nov. 25, 2009.
Probably the most precious gift that God has given us is the freedom to choose between good and evil, to let people love us, to be grateful, to trust and to believe. We all have that ability, but as alcoholics, we took away people’s freedom with our disease of self, selfishness, pride, self-pity, resentments, a closed mind and a closed heart which are all part of our disease. We took away the freedom even for parents to love us, help us, be there for us. We thought we knew better than God who gave us the people that we needed to help us, love us, and care for us from the time we were born until the day we die. We have to surrender our self-will, our old ideas, and accept the advice and know-how of the people that God puts in our lives.
My commitment today is to ask what to do to get peace back into my life.
Thank you Brentwood amen amen God bless and have a blessed Tuesday 🙌 😇
Daily reading for January 30 from “As If I Was In Your Office…”
One Day at a Time - “The day at a time means not on my own.” Fr. Paul – Dec 5, 2007.
In our disease as alcoholics we lived either in the past or the future. We held on to our hates, resentments and self-pity, guilt from the past and our fears of the future. We could not be open to the love or forgiveness of the people in our lives that we need today. We thought we had to do it alone. There was no possibility for us to be open to people’s love, caring or forgiveness. It is all against nature and God’s way.
In recovery we need to let people in because that is the opposite of our disease. The people that God puts in my life today is God’s way for my fulfillment, my growth, my happiness and my peace of mind. We can find the secret of life and what we need to do to be successful in and through the people that God puts in our lives today.
My commitment today is t live one day at a time with the people that God pouts in my life today.
Thank you Brentwood amen and God bless
Amen 🙏💗🐦
Daily reading for January 29 from “As If I Was In Your Office…”
Gratitude - “I show my gratitude by sharing, by participating, by cooperating!” Don Russel – March 9, 2009.
Our big battle with our disease is the self-will. We only wanted to please ourselves. We never thought of other people’s needs. We pursued self-gratification and self-indulgence. We were full of insecurities, loneliness, emptiness, and felt unfulfilled. There was a void that booze, drugs, sex, money, power, or drugs could not fill. There was spiritual part lacking in us and we could not fill a spiritual need with the material or the physical. We had no self-worth or self-esteem
In recovery we see the opportunities that God has given us. We start having gratitude for what we’ve been given. We help the other suffering alcoholic by sharing our experiences with them. This is how we show our gratitude for this place, our families and our friends.
My commitment today is to have gratitude o all that God has freely given me!
Thanks again Brentwood God bless everyone have a wonderful Sunday 😊
Amen 🙏💗🐦

Featured Testimonial
Not only did the people at Brentwood change my son, but they changed me as a mother. It allowed me to develop an amazing relationship with my son. When we found Brentwood, I was as much in need of help as my son was. I could not have done this journey without help. Without Brentwood’s help!
By coming to Family Support meetings with an open heart, I found a support system like no others. Brentwood staff have continued to work with my son in his Recovery while I worked my own program. This has allowed us to celebrate and grow in recovery as a family. I will be forever grateful to Brentwood!
