12&12
Tradition One - "Our common welfare should come first;
personal recovery depends upon A.A. Unity."
Countless times, in as many cities and hamlets, we reenacted the story of Eddie Rickenbacker and his courageous company when their plane crashed in the Pacific. Like us, they had suddenly found themselves saved from death, but still floating upon a perilous sea. How well they saw that their common welfare came first. None might become selfish of water or bread. Each needed to consider the others, and in abiding faith they knew they must find their real strength. And as they did find, in measure to transcend all the defects of their frail craft, every test of uncertainty, pain, fear, and despair, and even the death of one. p. 131 |

Twenty-Four Hours
A.A. Thought For The
Day
Gossip about or criticism of personalities has no place in an A.A. clubroom. Every man in A.A. is a brother and every woman is a sister, as long as he or she is a member of A.A. We ought not to gossip about the relationships of any man or woman in the group. And if we say about another member, "I think she or he is taking a few drinks on the side," it's the worst thing we could do to that person. If a woman or a man is not living up to A.A. principles or has a slip, it's up to her or him to stand up in a meeting and say so. If they don't do that, they are only hurting themselves. Do I talk about other members behind their backs? Meditation for the Day To God, a miracle of change in a person's life is only a natural happening. But it is a natural happening operated by spiritual forces. There is no miracle in personalities too marvelous to be an everyday happening. But miracles happen only to those who are fully guided and strengthened by God. Marvelous changes in people's nature happen so simply, and yet they are free from all other agencies than the grace of God. But these miracles have been prepared for by days and months of longing for something better. They are always accompanied by a real desire to conquer self and to surrender one's life to God. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may expect miracles in the lives of people. I pray that I may be used to help people change. |

(\ ~~ /) ( \(AA)/ ) (_ /AA\ _) /AA\ ^*^*^*^*^ Anonymity "We now fully realize that 100 per cent personal anonymity before the public is just as vital to the life of A.A. as 100 percent sobriety is to the life of each and every member. This is not the counsel of fear; it is the voice of long experience." 1957 AAWS Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age, p. 293 Thought to Consider . . . Walk softly and carry a Big Book.

Daily Reflection
FALSE PRIDE
Many of us who had
thought ourselves religious awoke to
the limitations of this
attitude. Refusing to place God first,
we had deprived ourselves
of His help.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE
TRADITIONS, p. 75
Many false notions
operate in false pride. The need for
direction to live a
decent life is satisfied by the hope
experienced in the A.A.
Fellowship. Those who have
walked the way for
years—a day at a time—say that a God-centered
life has limitless
possibilities for personal growth.
This being so, much hope
is transmitted by the elder A.A.s.
I thank my Higher Power
for letting me know that He
works through other
people, and I thank Him for our
trusted servants in the
Fellowship who aid new members to
reject their false ideals
and to adopt those which lead to a
life of compassion and
trust. The elders in A.A. challenge
the newcomers to
"Come To"—so that they can "Come to
Believe." I ask my
Higher Power to help my unbelief.
