DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) In the late stages of our drinking, the will to resist his fled. Yet when we admit complete defeat and when we become entirely ready to try A.A. principles, our obsession leaves us and we enter a new dimension – freedom under God as we understand Him.

2) Today I can laugh at my mistakes and mistakes of others. When I catch myself organizing the world, I remember where the “perfect” yesterday‘s got me – and I laugh. God made me with a naval and flat feet; I would’ve preferred something different, but there is a loving message within my imperfections. It is OK to goof up!
3) God, when I am faced with a tough decision, help me be gentle with myself and others as I sort out, with your help, what’s right for me.
-Melody Beattie

4) Beyond a Higher Power, as each of us may vision Him, A.A. Must never, as a society, enter the field of dogma or theology. We can never become a religion in that sense, unless we kill our usefulness by getting bogged down in the theological contention.
