DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) Do not let any prejudice you might have against spiritual terms deter you from honestly asking yourself what they mean to you.
-ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 47
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 65
2) Let us always remember that any society of men and women that cannot freely correct its own faults must surely fall into decay if not into collapse. Such is the universe’s penalty for the failure to go on growing. Just as each A.A. must continue to take his moral inventory and act upon it, so must our whole Society if we are to survive, and if we are to serve usefully and well.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
3) When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. Remember how we tried to make others think we were not in trouble? We walked and talked like addicts. We acted like addicts. Almost everyone knew the truth but us. We were like ducks pretending to be eagles. We see ourselves as we really are now. But sometimes we can’t see ourselves that way. This is normal. That’s why we need others to help us see what we can’t. We were addicts. We are now recovering addicts. We need friends, sponsors, and family members to tell us when we may be acting like addicts again. It may save our lives.
4) “A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.”
-von Goethe
