Made a list…
When I approached the Eighth Step, I wondered how I couldK
list all the things that I have done to other people
since there were so many people, and some of them weren’t
alive anymore. Some of the hurts I inflicted weren’t bad,
but they really bothered me. The main thing to see in
this Step was to become willing to do whatever I had to
do to make these amends to the best of my ability at that
particular time.
- AA thought for the day
There is no substitute for
reading the Big Book. It is our “bible.” We should study
it thoroughly and make it a part of ourselves. We should
not try to change any of it. Within its covers is the
full exposition of the A.A. program. There is no substitute
for it. We should study it often. Have I studied the Big
Book faithfully?
- Keep it simple
Sobriety. It’s an exciting adventure. It’s a spiritual adventure. We look inward. We find where our Higher Power lives: within us. We then reach outward. We share our joy with others. Not with words and preaching, but by trying to help others. Sobriety is faith turned into action.
Sobriety. It’s an adventure in coming to know one’s self. At times, we’ll have to face our fears. But we’ll also find just how much love we have for life.
Sobriety. It’s as if we’re on a trip. Our Higher Power holds the map. Our job is to listen. And we go in the direction we’re told.
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds
you plant.”
–Robert Louis Stevenson
