"Stinkin-Thinkin"

Alcoholics Anonymous is a true gift of God. Other than the church I attend it is the greatest organization on this earth for those who truly desire to make a positive change in their lives after having let themselves fall victim to the power of alcohol.
Those who truly desire help and would desire to put their lives back in order and give themselves over to total honesty with themselves and others will be provided with every opportunity to succeed.
Attending meetings of A. A. provides a cornucopia of answers, wisdom, opportunities and meaningful keys to success. A slogan often utilized for attitude adjustment is known as "stinkin-thinkin".

That which " Stinks" is most often considered undesirable. One cannot experience life without getting his olfactory system assailed occasionally. Ironically "stink" can affect any of our senses depending on our perception of the causative source.
We hear the term "that stinks" applied to matters observed, smelled, heard, touched or tasted.

In A.A. "stinkin-thinkin" relates to a frame of mind which could and does cause one to resort to a continuance of imbibing.
As society exists today literally, every component of life has the propensity for creating and activating "stinkin-thinkin". For example! Now Terri Schiavo is dead. The highly covered event created "stinkin-thinkin" within my being. No! No! No! I'm not going to use this as an excuse to go take a drink of liquor as some might. My aspirations created by the Schiavo matter involved an almost overwhelming desire to initiate physical, mental and even monitary retribution against the Judge, the Husband and his Attorney who are, without a doubt, "revolving murderers." What is a revolving murderer? That is one who is a murderer any way he turns.
No! No! No! A "higher power" (another A.A. term) will deal with those stinking scums.

Whoever you are, whatever you are, whereever you are, just get ready for some good old fashioned "stinkin-thinkin" because things are happening in our local and national governments, churches, businesses, organizations, health care, etc. Just do some deep, serious thinking.

My next few blog contributions will address matters I have difficulty "breathing" around. If you read this and you share my views I pray my efforts will provide help in dealing with existing attrocities.
