1) Daily Reflections
MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING
Fear… of economic insecurity will leave us.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84
Having fear reduced or eliminated and having economic
circumstances improve, are two different things. When
I was new in A.A., I had those two ideas confused……..
2) A.A. Thought For The Day
In A.A. we forget about the future. We know from
experience that as time goes on, the future takes care of
itself. Everything works out well, as long as we stay
sober. All we need to think about is today. When we get
up in the morning and see the sun shining in the window,
we thank God that He has given us another day to enjoy
because we’re sober. A day in which we may have a chance
to help somebody. Do I know that this day is all I have
and that with God’s help I can stay sober today?
3) Prayer For The Day
I pray that God may be with me in my journey through the
world. I pray that I may know that God is planning that
journey.
4) As Bill Sees It
Debits and Credits, p. 80
Following a gossip binge, we can well ask ourselves these questions:
“Why did we say what we did? Were we only trying to be helpful and
informative? Or were we not trying to feel superior by confessing
the other fellow’s sins? Or, because of fear and dislike, were we not
really aiming to damage him?”
This would be an honest attempt to examine ourselves, rather than
the other fellow.
Don’t go through life, grow through life.
