"A picture of a fire
looks like a fire, but it can't burn. Theory and practice are two
different things." At least one or more of
these three things bring us into AA: l awyers, livers, lovers. The
other ones that do not bring us are the very ones that
bring our friends and teachers. If we continue to live
within our will, it’s like trying to push
water uphill with a spatula. We should hold an attitude
of gratitude for all our life’s experiences that bring us to this
moment. We are Made for this very Moment. ~ David H.- “Livin’MyDream Every great dream begins
with a dreamer. Always remember, you have
within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for
the stars to change the world. Being Alone is a markedly
different experience from being lonely. ~Clark Mostakas |

Big Book Quote We can look the world
in the eye. We can be alone at perfect peace and ease. Our fears fall from
us. We begin to feel the nearness of our Creator. P75 |

Daily Thought ^*^*^*^*^ Action "But the
program of action, though entirely sensible, was pretty drastic. It meant I
would have to throw several lifelong conceptions out of the window. That was
not easy. But the moment I made up my mind to go through with the process, I
had the curious feeling that my alcoholic condition was relieved, as in fact
it proved to be. Quite as important was the discovery that spiritual
principles would solve all my problems." Thought to Consider . . . Never
mistake motion for action. *~*AACRONYMS*~*

Daily Reflection A.A. IS NOT A CURE-ALL It would be a product of
false pride to claim that A. A. is a cure-all, even for
alcoholism AS BILL SEES IT, p. 285 In my early years of
sobriety I was full of pride, thinking that A. A. was the only
source of treatment for a good and happy life. It certainly
was the basic ingredient for my sobriety and even today,
with over twelve years in the program, I am very involved
in meetings, sponsorship and service. During the first
four years of my recovery, I found it necessary to seek
professional help, since my emotional health was extremely poor.
There are those folks too, who have found sobriety and
happiness in other organizations. A.A. taught me that I had a
choice: to go to any lengths to enhance my sobriety. A.A.
may not be a cure-all for everything, but it is the
center of my sober living. |

Pot Luck Inner
Peace The first step
towards inner peace is to decide to give love, not to receive it. ~~Bernie S. Siegel “This is a selfish
program.”How many times have we heard this? It is true of course. Every time
we make a Twelfth Step call we are essentially doing for ourselves. We always
benefit. God has given us direct access to happiness. It is a lovely paradox
that when we give, we also receive. We are always helped by trying to help
another. Our decision to give
love, then can be a calculated one — we already know the results. This
shouldn’t be our motive though. Wondering what we are getting out of giving
to others can be a hinderance to our peace of mind because we’re missing
God’s point. If we concentrate on the giving, the receiving will take care of
itself. ============================================== Today I will try to
give unselfishly. Casey, Carey and
Pyle, Homer, In God’s Care c1991 August 8
