DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

BIG BOOK QUOTE, p. 21
2) But what about the real alcoholic? He may start off as a moderate drinker; he may or may not become a continuous hard drinker; but at some stage of his drinking career, he begins to lose all control of his liquor consumption, once he starts to drink.
WALK IN DRY PLACES
3) It’s not surprising that the world is beset by conflicts. Millions of people have conditioned themselves to selfish ways of thinking and behaving that are bound to cause such conflicts. Much harm is done by people who are absolutely sure they are right at all times. As human beings, we cannot expect to be excluded from these conflicts simply because we have a Twelve Step program. We do, however, have a means of dealing with such conflicts effectively when we respond according to principle. This makes us privileged people in a way, but it is good to know that any person can have the same privileges by following the right principles.
4) “To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.”
-Von Goethe
