the day april 23 2014 in spite of all we have learned in a a our old way of thinking comes back on us sometimes with overwhelming force and occasionally some of us have slips we forget or refuse to call on the higher power for help we seem to deliberately make our minds a blank so far as a a training goes and we take a drink we eventually get drunk we are temporarily right back where we started from those who have had slips say unanimously that they were no fun they say a a had taken all the pleasure out of drinking they knew they were doing the wrong thing the old mental conflict was back in full force they were disgusted with themselves am i convinced that i can never get anything more out of drinking meditation for the day give something to those who are having trouble to those whose thoughts are confused something of your sympathy your prayers your time your love your thought your self then give of your own confidence as you have had it given to you by the grace of god give of yourself and of your loving sympathy give your best to those who need it and win accept it give according to need never according to deserts remember that the giving of advice can never take the place of giving of yourself prayer for the day i pray that as i have received so may i give i pray that i may have the right answer for those who are confused share this email a link to a friend opens in

bill sees it p 285 in my early years of sobriety i was full of pride thinking that a a was the only source of treatment for a good and happy life it certainly was the basic ingredient for my sobriety and even today with over twelve years in the program i am very involved in meetings sponsorship and service during the first four years of my recovery i found it necessary to seek professional help since my emotional health was extremely poor there are those folks too who have found sobriety and happiness in other organizations a a taught me that i had a choice to go to any lengths to enhance my sobriety a a may not be a cure all for everything but it is the center of my sober living from the book daily reflections copyright 1990 by alcoholics anonymous world services inc share this email a

comment april 22 2014 by turkeyboneheaven thought for the day thought for the day april 22 2014 people believe in a a when they see it work an actual demonstration is what convinces them what they read in books what they hear people say doesn t always convince them but when they see a real honest to goodness change take place in a person a change from a drunkard to a sober useful citizen that s something they can believe because they can see it there s really only one thing that proves to me that a a works have i seen the change in people who come into a a meditation for the day divine control and unquestioning obedience to god are the only conditions necessary for a spiritual life divine control means absolute faith and trust in god a belief that god is the divine principle in the universe and that he is the intelligence and the love that controls the universe unquestioning obedience to god means living each day the way you believe god wants you to live constantly seeking the guidance of god in every situation and being willing to do the right thing at all times prayer for the day i pray that i may always be under divine control and always practice unquestioning obedience to god i pray that i may be always ready to serve him from twenty four hours a day 1975 by hazelden foundation all rights reserved no portion of this publication may be reproduced in any manner

which would destroy us or which we would use to destroy ourselves as bill sees it p 173 i came to a a green a seedling quivering with exposed taproots it was for survival but it was a beginning i

a comment april 21 2014 by turkeyboneheaven thought for the day thought for the day april 21 2014 after we ve been in aa for a while we find out that if we re going to stay sober we have to be humble people the men and women in aa who have achieved sobriety are all humble people when i stop to think that but for the grace of god i might be drunk right now i can t help feeling humble gratitude to god for his grace makes me humble when i think of the kind of person i was not so long ago when i think of the person i left behind me i have nothing to be proud of am i grateful and humble meditation for the day i must arise from the death of sin and selfishness and put on a new life of integrity all the old sins and temptations must be laid in the grave and a new existence rise from the ashes yesterday is gone all my sins are forgiven if i am honestly trying to do god s will today today is here the time of resurrection and renewal i must start now today to build a new life of complete faith and trust in god and a determination to do his will in all things prayer for the day i pray that i may share in making the world a better place to live in i pray that i may do what i can to

well in this world unless we practice it and i don t believe we do a a too well unless we practice it we should practice acquiring the spirit of service we should attempt to acquire some faith which isn t easily done especially for the person who has always been very materialistic following the standards of society today but i think faith can be acquired it can be acquired slowly it has to be cultivated that was not easy for me and i assume that it is difficult for everyone else dr bob and the good oldtimers pp 307 08 fear is often the force that prevents me from acquiring and cultivating

things but they add up to a satisfactory and happy life you take out of life what you put into it so i d say to people coming into aa don t worry about what life will be like without liquor just hang in there and a lot of good things will happen to you and you ll have that feeling of quiet satisfaction and peace and serenity and gratitude for the grace of god is my life becoming really worth living meditation for the day there are two paths one up and one down we have been given free will to choose either path we are captains of our souls to this extent only we can choose the good or the bad once we have chosen the wrong path we go down and down eventually to death but if we choose the right path we go up and up until we come to the resurrection day on the wrong path we have no power for good because we do not choose to ask for it but on the right path we are on the side of good and we have all the power of god s spirit behind us prayer for the day i pray that i may be in the stream of goodness i pray that i may be on the right side on the side of all good in the universe from twenty four hours a day 1975 by hazelden foundation all rights reserved no portion of this
