DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) We have found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. To us, the realm of spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive, never exclusive, or forbidding to those who earnestly seek. It is open, we believe, to all men.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 7
Open mindedness to concepts of a Higher Power can open doors to the spirit. Often, I find the human spirit in various dogmas and faiths. I can be spiritual in the sharing of myself. The sharing of self joins me to the human race and brings me closer to God, as I understand Him.

2) We recovered alcoholics are not so much brothers in virtue, as we are brothers in our defects, and in our common strivings to overcome them.
-Letter, 1946
KEEP IT SIMPLE
3) “A.A. states that resentment is the number one offender among our member; that is puts more alcoholics in the graves than any other thing.
-Stools and Bottles
We can get high on anger. That’s why it’s dangerous. We get a false sense of power from being angry. Our anger turns into resentments. Resentments turn into hate. Hate eats at our spiritual core. We can be rid of resentments and hate through prayer and helping others. That’s why we’re to pray for those who have wronged us, so our hearts don’t fill with hate. This is why we use our energy in a healthy way. And our serenity will grow as we see that anger no longer has so much power over our actions.
4) “Once you accept the existence of God-however you define Him, however you explain your relationship to Him-then you are caught forever with His presence in the center of all things.”
-Moris West
