Topics – Sept 8
1) Daily Reflections
“WE ASKED HIS PROTECTION”
We asked His protection and care with complete abandon.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 59
2) When we see another suffering alcoholic in the throes of alcoholism, we say to ourselves: “But for the Grace of God, there go I.” We do not forget the kind of people we were. We remember those we left behind us. And we are very grateful to the grace of God which has given us another chance. Am I truly grateful for the grace of God?
3) Today is a day of opportunities. I am open and ready to find them all, knowing that I am receiving all the guidance I need to be forward and be happy.
–Ruth Fishel
4) We become part of a team in this program. That’s why all the Steps are written with the word we rather than I. We cannot fully surrender to renewal simply by reading about it, hearing about it, or thinking about it. We become participants, members, and peers. We go to meetings and express the details of our lives, and we learn from the stories of others. In our relationships we learn to let our emotions out.
