Zest
From
"Going to AA meetings:"
"It
may surprise you that you will almost never hear an AA
speaker sound self-pitying about being deprived of
alcohol.
"The speaker usually has found, or is
reaching for, some contentment, peace of mind, solutions
to problems, zest for living, and a kind of health of
the spirit which you, too, want.
If so, hang around.
Those qualities are contagious in AA"

1975, Living Sober, page 79

**********************************
We
are all seeking contentment – normalcy in living some
may say. When
we first enter into recovery, we can’t imagine life
without our drug/alcohol, etc.
We grieve an old friend.
But when we listen to the speaker, when we see
their enthusiasm, their peace – and see what worked
for them – our appetite for that happiness and
contentment grows.
The more we hear it – the more we become like
it.
When
we look deep inside these cheerful folks, we find that
true happiness comes from the Lord.
Without God, we would have never made it – to
have this zest for living.
“He
makes them listen to correction
and commands them to
repent of their evil.
If
they obey and serve him,
they will spend
the rest of their days in prosperity
and their years in
contentment.”

36:10-11

”Two are better than one, because they
have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
but woe to one who is alone and falls
and does not have another to help”
