DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) We want to find exactly how, when, and where our natural desires have warped us. We wish to look squarely at the unhappiness this is caused others and ourselves. By discovering what our emotional deformities are, we can move toward correction.

2) People will tell you to work the steps and that may lead you to believe that the steps are our work in recovery. Working the steps is not doing our work, they are the foundation for doing our work. Our work is getting into the trenches and helping others. When my life is not working the way, I want it to, I find I may not be doing my real work.

3) All of us pass through times when we can pray only with the greatest exertion. Occasionally, we go even further than this. We are seized with a rebellion, so sickening that we simply won’t pray. When these things happen, we should not think too ill of ourselves. We should simply resume prayer as soon as we can, doing what we know to be good for us.

4) Resentment is the “number one“ offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. From it stems all forms of spiritual disease, for we have not only been mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick. When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically.
