We must be willing
to get rid of the life
we’ve planned
so as to have the life that
is waiting for us.
~Joseph Campbell
"What is success?
It is being able to go to
bed each night
with your soul at
peace."
~Paulo Coelho
It is the law that any
difficulties that can come to you at any time,
must be exactly what you
need most at the moment
to enable you to take the
next step forward by overcoming them.
The only real misfortune,
the only real tragedy,
comes when we suffer
without learning the lesson…
~Emmet Fox
"In the province of
the mind,
what one believes to be
true
either is true
or becomes true."
-John Lilly

"Cessation of drinking is but the first step away from a

12&12
Step Twelve - "Having had a spiritual awakening as the
result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to
practice these principles in all our affairs."
How we alcoholics did resent that verdict! We would not believe that our adult dreams were often truly childish. And considering the rough deal life had given us, we felt it perfectly natural that we were sensitive. As to our grandiose behavior, we insisted that we had been possessed of nothing but a high and legitimate ambition to win the battle of life. p. 123 |

Twenty-Four Hours
A.A. Thought For The
Day
A.A. members will tell
you that they can
look back and clearly
see that they were
out of control long
before they finally
admitted it. Every one
of us has gone
through that stage
when we wouldn’t admit
that we were
alcoholics. It takes a lot
of punishment to
convince us, but one thing
is certain. We all
know from actual experience
that when it comes to
dishing out
punishment, John
Barleycorn has no equal.
Have I any reservations as to my status as
an alcoholic?
Meditation for the Day
There is a force for
good in the world and when you
are cooperating with
that force for good, good things
happen to you. You
have free-will, the choice to be
on the side of right
or on the side of wrong. This
force for good we call
God’s will. God has a purpose
for the world and He
has a purpose for your life. He
wants you to bring all
your desires into oneness with
His desires. He can
only work through people. If
you try to make God’s
will your will, you will be
guided by Him. You
will be in the stream of good-
ness, carried along by
everything that is right. You
will be on God’s side.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may try
to make God’s will my will. I
pray that I may
keeping the stream of goodness
in the world.

Daily Thought
^*^*^*^*^
(\ ~~ /) ( \(AA)/ ) (_ /AA\ _) /AA\ ^*^*^*^*^ Egomania "Our egomania digs two disastrous pitfalls. Either we insist on dominating the people we know, or we depend upon them far too much. If we lean too heavily on people, they will sooner or later fail us, for they are human, too, and cannot possibly meet our own incessant demands . . . We have not once sought to be one in a family, to be a friend among friends, to be a worker among workers, to be a useful member of society." 1952 AAWS Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 53 Thought to Consider . . . It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.

Daily Reflection
AN EVER-GROWING
FREEDOM
The Seventh Step is where
we make the change in our
attitude which permits
us, with humility as our guide, to
move out from ourselves
toward others and toward God.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE
TRADITIONS, p. 76
When I finally asked God
to remove those things blocking
me from Him and the
sunlight of the Spirit, I embarked on
a journey more glorious
than I ever imagined. I
experienced a freedom
from those characteristics that had
me wrapped up in myself.
Because of this humbling Step, I
feel clean.
I am especially aware of
this Step because I'm now able
to be useful to God and
to my fellows. I know that He has
granted me strength to do
His bidding and has prepared me
for anyone, and anything,
that comes my way today. I am
truly in His hands, and I
give thanks for the joy that I can
be useful today.

Pot Luck
As Bill Sees It
Freed Prisoners, p.
234
Letter to a prison
group:
"Every A.A. has
been, in a sense, a prisoner. Each of us has
walled himself out of
society; each has known social stigma. The
lot of you folks has
been even more difficult: In your case, society
has also built a wall
around you. But there isn't any really essential
difference, a fact
that practically all A.A.'s now know.
"Therefore, when
you members come into the world of A.A. on the
outside, you can be
sure that no one will care a fig that you have
done time. What you
are trying to be--not what you were--is all that
counts to us."
