1) DAILY REFLECTIONS
” … let us not suppose even for an instant that we’re not under constraint… Our former tyrant, King Alcohol, always stands ready again, to clutch us to him. Therefore, freedom from alcohol is the great “must” that has to be achieved, else we go mad or die.”
-AS BILL SEES IT, p. 134
2) BIG BOOK QUOTE, p. 130
Those of us who have spent much time in the world of spiritual make-believe, have eventually seen the childishness of it. This dreamworld has been replaced by a great sense of purpose, accompanied by a growing consciousness to the power of God in our lives. We’ve come to believe He would like us to keep our heads in the cloud with Him, but that our feet ought to be firmly planted on earth. That is where our fellow travelers are, and that is where our work must be done.
3) POCKET SPONSOR
One of the joys of this program is the path that provides us with to do the right thing. Our steps don’t give us a whole lot of room for justifications. There is no right way to do the wrong thing. I learn to do the next right thing, not the next “me” thing.
4) “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
-Von Goethe
