DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) We realize we know only a little. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us. Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick. The answers will come, if your own house is in order. But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven’t got. See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others. This is the Great Fact for us.

2) Before recovery, we saw only a blurry picture of ourselves, like we were looking through an out-of-focus camera lens. We couldn’t see the good in ourselves because we wouldn’t look close enough. Step Four helps us look more closely. We see a picture of ourselves, with our good points and our faults. We don’t like everything we see. But we can’t change until we accept ourselves as we are. Then we can start getting ready to change.
3) “Only God can make us whole.”
-Barbara Haynes
FATHER LEO
4) Prejudice, divides people, and feeds upon anger, resentment, and fear. Today I can see that my prejudice’s stemmed from my seeing in others what I disliked in myself. I hated people who appeared “weak” because I knew that I was weak and vulnerable. I hated people who were “different“ because I knew there were parts of me that were different from how I appeared. I hated the people who stood up for their principles and talked about their feelings because, as a drunk, I never really had any principles and I couldn’t get in touch with my feelings. Today I try to talk about my prejudice’s and overcome them. A knowledge of those people I dislike has proven useful in slowly overcoming my prejudice.
