Your
Daily Reprieve for Thursday April 4,
2024 From Waynesville, NC |
“Spiritual growth and
experiences are not limited to orthodox believers in a deity, any more than
the disease of alcoholism is limited to skid-row bums.” ~Casper, Wyo., September
1969 AA Grapevine If you find it difficult to love the human
in someone, then love the divine in him or her. The divine in that person is
God. God exists in that person just as God exists in you. To love God is
extremely easy because God is divine and perfect. Each time you look at an
individual, if you can consciously become aware of God’s existence in him or
her, then you will not be disturbed by his or her imperfections or
limitations. -Sri Chinmoy Until you have learned to be tolerant with
those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit
of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have
formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in
others, you will be neither successful nor happy. -Napoleon Hill It’s only in our minds that we are separate
from the rest of the world. -Gay Luce |
Big Book Quote How
could there be so much of precise and immutable law, and no intelligence? I
simply had to believe in a Spirit of the Universe, who knew neither time nor
limitation. P10 |

Daily Reflection CRYING FOR THE MOON "This very real
feeling of inferiority is magnified by his childish sensitivity and it
is this state of affairs which generates in him that
insatiable, abnormal craving for selfapproval and success in the eyes of
the world. Still a child, he cries for the moon. And
the moon, it seems, won't have him!" LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, p.
102 While drinking I seemed to
vacillate between feeling totally invisible and believing I
was the center of the universe. Searching for that elusive
balance between the two has become a major part of my
recovery. The moon I constantly cried for is, in sobriety,
rarely full; it shows me instead its many other phases, and
there are lessons in them all. True learning has often followed
an eclipse, a time of darkness, but with each cycle of my
recovery, the light grows stronger and my vision is clearer. |
Pot Luck LIES "The cruelest lies are often told in silence." --Robert Louis Stevenson In treatment I said that I did not "tell" many lies
- and although this was not true (hence a lie), it missed the fact that most of my
lies were "lies of silence". It was what I did not say that
produced the confusion; the pretended self-confidence that hid the pain and
shame; the half-spoken truth that harbored the disease. Communication is the key to any spiritual relationship and a
sick silence creates the ultimate blasphemy. God created you and me
to relate. In the interchange of our ideas is the miracle born. A
sick, angry and ego-centered silence is our shouted "no"
to God. O Lord of the paradox, let me see how the lie of silence can
be used to destroy my world.
