The 12 and 12&#13;
24 Hours a Day&#13;
The inability to make decisions when problems come along can be devastating. &#13;
This tension can be present even if we are not aware of it, &#13;
except that we know we are stressed.&#13;
Have you ever had difficulty making a decision?&#13;
Has the inability to solve the problem affected you?&#13;
How?&#13;
What about procrastination, do you struggle with this?&#13;
It is said that procrastination is the result of habitual inability to make decisions.&#13;
What about making the decision to address the drink problem?&#13;
Did you have a difficult time making the decision to get help?&#13;
When did you first think that you had a drinking problem?&#13;
When did you actually come into the program?&#13;
Did the stress level increase between the time you thought you had a problem and when you actually came into the fellowship?&#13;
Did you drink to alleviate the stress level?&#13;
What about making a decision to do the steps?&#13;
Did you procrastinate?&#13;
If so, how did that work?&#13;
After you made the decision to do the steps, how did that feel?&#13;
What causes indecision?&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Fear of failure - your thoughts?&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Refusal to accept reality - your thoughts?&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Lack of faith - your thoughts?&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Pride and stubbornness - your thoughts?&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
We are all about the solution.&#13;
what steps?&#13;
what prayers?&#13;
what slogans?&#13;
How has a sponsor helped?&#13;
We Have Calls!&#13;
Alex From Austin&#13;
Use the slogan: &amp;amp;nbsp;Do the next right thing.&#13;
You don&amp;amp;rsquo;t have to do everything at once, just a decision to do the next right thing.&#13;
Making decisions lead to happiness, the key to happiness.&#13;
Happiness is not pleasure.&#13;
Pleasure only occurs during the moment.&#13;
Taking a nap brings happiness during the moment, not so much afterward.&#13;
Happiness lasts beyond the moment.&#13;
I rarely look forward to working out.&#13;
But after I make the next right thing and decide to go to the gym.&#13;
I feel great after and for the rest of the day.&#13;
Happiness lasts beyond the moment of the workout.&#13;
It is the result of making right decisions.&#13;
Big Book References&#13;
p. 86&#13;
In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while.&#13;
Doctor&amp;amp;rsquo;s Opinion&#13;
the psychopaths who are emotionally unstable. We are all familiar with this type. They are always &amp;quot;going on the wagon for keeps.&amp;quot; They are over-remorseful and make many resolutions, but never a decision.&#13;
p. 64&#13;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
Though our decision was a vital and crucial step, it could have little permanent effect unless at once followed by a strenuous effort to face, and to be rid of, the things in ourselves which had been blocking us. Our liquor was but a symptom. So we had to get down to causes and conditions.</description>
