FORTUNATELY, BEING LOVING CAN BE TAUGHT -
"We may have
thought we were
incapable of loving
or being loved or ever
having friends. We dis-
cover that these beliefs
were unfounded. We learn,
from the example of our
sponsor, how to be a
more caring friend."
(It Works, How &
Why p. 41)
WITH "LOVING CONNECTIONS" FOR A "BRAVE & HAPPY LIFE" -
"As we worked
these steps, we
learned how much
healing and help there
is in loving connections
with Power greater than
ourselves and with those
who share our lives. We
now want to continue
strengthening these
connections ... ."
(Overeaters
Anon., p.
85)
"Happiness comes
more from loving than
being loved; and often
when our affection seems
wounded it is only our van-
ity bleeding. To love, and
to be hurt often, and to
love again - this is the
brave and hap-
py life."
- J. E. Buckrose (1868-1931) English author
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
