Quote July 8, 2014

“I’m becoming so secure in AA, I’ve even discarded the cute, funny, phony me my civilian friends used to know. I don’t have to dance with a rose in my teeth; I can just dance. And I don’t have to be the only girl at the picnic who can swing Tarzan-style from a rope into the river. I can swim calmly, like the forty-year-old mother of four I am.”

Houston, Texas, June 1976 “Growth,” Emotional Sobriety

Grapevine Daily Quote December 24, 2019

“My miracle occurred when I became willing to go to any lengths to take action. Like the trapeze artist, it wasn’t the knowledge of it being there -- it was the action of letting go.”

Lexington, Kentucky, April 2002, “God, the Verb,”, Spiritual Awakenings
