TOPICS – April 12
1) Daily Reflections
GIVING UP INSANITY
. . . where alcohol has been involved, we have been
strangely insane.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 38
2) A.A. Thought For The Day -Twenty Four Hours A Day
This sober world is a pleasant place for an alcoholic to
live in. Once you’ve gotten out of your alcoholic fog, you
find that the world looks good. You find real friends in
A.A. You get a job. You feel good in the morning. You eat
a good breakfast and you do a good day’s work at home or
outside. And your family loves you and welcomes you because
you’re sober. Am I convinced that this sober world is a
pleasant place for an alcoholic to live in?
3) Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may first admit my needs. I pray that then
I may have faith that God will meet those needs, in the
way which is best for me.
4) Keep It Simple
I haven’t always known how to enjoy life, but Working the Twelve Steps is more than recovery from alcohol or other drug addiction. It’s also about how to enjoy life. Our illness pulled us toward death. Our spirits were dying, and maybe our bodies were dying. Now our spirits are coming to life. We feel more alive than ever before. Our feelings are coming alive. We feel hope and faith, love, and joy, and even hurt and fear. We notice the sunshine as well as the clouds. We know life needs both sunshine and rain, both joy and pain. We are alive. You can teach me. All life is from You, so teach me to be free in Your light and love.
