A Christmas Message From Alcoholics Anonymous Member #1

TO ALL MEMBERS:


Greetings On Our 10th Christmas 1944


Yes, it's in the air! The spirit of Christmas once more warms
this poor distraught world.
Over the whole globe millions are looking forward to that one
day when strife can be forgotten, when it will be remembered that all human beings, even the least are loved by God. When men will hope for the coming of the Prince of Peace as they never hoped before.


But there is another world which is not poor. Neither is it
distraught. It is the world of Alcoholics Anonymous, where thousands dwell happily and secure. Secure because each of us, in his own way, knows a greater power who is love, who is just, and who can be trusted.

Nor can men and women of AA ever forget that only through
suffering did they find enough humility to enter the portals of that New World.


How privileged we are to understand so well the divine paradox that strength rises from weakness, that humiliation goes before resurrection; that pain is not only the price but the very touchstone of spiritual rebirth.


Knowing it's full worth and purpose, we can no longer fear
adversity, we have found prosperity where there was poverty, peace and joy have sprung out of the very midst of chaos. Great indeed, our blessings! And so,-- Merry Christmas to you all-- from the Trustees, from Bobbie and from Lois and me.

Celebrate A New Life

Executive Christian Alcohol Rehab Drug Treatment Program

Many Executive Christians are very successful inspite of their drug addiction or alcoholisim. Herein lies the problem, when our efforts seem to bring vast amounts of accomplishment in most endevours, but seem to fail uterly when it comes to the tyrant alcohol and drug addition; this is the time to look into an inpatient Christian Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Program.

Some of us become addicted to our work and accomplishments. It's not that were just hard working people; we use our activities to feel worthwhile. It's as though we believe that deep inside we are worthless, so we work and take care of others to earn the right to be loved. When our work is at the heart of our self-esteem, we have a hard time stopping whatever it is that gives us a feeling of value. We become slaves of what we do and can never do enough.

Celebrate A New Life at Hope By The Sea is a Christian Alcohol Rehab and Drug Treatment Progam located in the coastal communities of Southern California. We have immedite openings for those that are serious about wanting help.
