DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) … harboring resentment is infinitely grave. For then we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the spirit.
-AS BILL SEES IT, p. 5
BIG BOOK QUOTE
2) On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest, or self-seeking motives. Under these conditions, we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, for after all, God gave us brains to use. Our thought life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 105
3) Our chief responsibility to the Newcomer is an adequate presentation of the program. If he does nothing or argues, we do nothing but maintain our own sobriety. If he starts to move ahead, even a little, with an open mind, we then break our neck to help in every way we can.
4) “The spiritual journey, the path of recovery and personal growth, is a detoxification process in which we bring up and out the negative beliefs we have carried with us from the past and that now poison the present.”
-Marianne Williamson
