DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) The essence of all growth is a willingness to change for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder whatever responsibility this entails.
-AS BILL SEES IT, p. 115
WALK IN DRY PLACES
2) Wherever we go, we should also make our sobriety the first priority of business. Whatever the importance of any social event, it is insignificant compared with the importance of sobriety. Keep sobriety at the top of your list, and other decisions will follow in proper order. We should hold the additional thought that “walking in dry places” is really thinking of ourselves as always being in dry places under God‘s guidance.
FATHER LEO
3) Much of the gratitude that I talk about needs to be centered in what I do today; I need to focus on the present, rather than procrastinate for the future. As a sick alcoholic, I lived either in the guilt of yesterday or the fear of tomorrow – missing the reality of the present. The present moment is all that I have and through this “moment” I live and breathe and have my existence!
4) “Kindness becomes its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.”
-Eric Hoffer
