A NOURISHING INGREDIENT, p.204
Where humility had formerly stood for a forced feeding on humble pie it now begins to mean the nourishing ingredient which can give us serenity.
12 & 12, p.74
2️⃣A.A. Thought For The Day
One of the best things about the A.A. program is the peace of mind and serenity that it can bring us. In our drinking days, we had no peace of mind or serenity. We had the exact opposite, a kind of turmoil and that “quiet desperation” we knew so well. The turmoil of our drinking days was caused partly by our physical suffering, the terrible hangovers, the cold sweats, the shakes and the jitters. But it was caused even more by our mental suffering, the loneliness, the feeling of inferiority, the lying, the remorse that every alcoholic understands. Have I achieved more peace of
mind?
3️⃣Prayer For The Day
I pray that God may protect and keep me as long as I try to serve Him. I pray that I may go forward today unafraid.
4️⃣Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment – or unlearning – of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.
–Marianne Williamson
