DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) We feel that elimination of our drinking is but a beginning. A much more important demonstration of our principles lies before us in our respective homes, occupations and affairs.

WALK IN DRY PLACES
2) Our alcoholism was perhaps the best example of self-will in action. It was only when we turned to a Higher Power that we began to find the things that we had been vainly seeking in the bottle. God has brought us this far and will not fail us when we ask for guidance and understanding in other matters. I will keep in mind today that God‘s will for me is good, and that God gives me the power to live in peace and harmony with others.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
3) Action for the Day: Today I’ll think about my First Step. Do I truly believe I am powerless over my disease?

4) The reality of our illness is simple; we have it! Once we see that we have the disease of chemical dependency, then we can admit that we are addicted to whatever, and then we can accept the help we are offered. I accept my humanness and accept my non-perfection in order to accept the help of those in recovery.
