"Forget the mistake,
remember the lesson" ~Arnold Schwarzenegger Through pride we are ever
deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience
a still, small voice says to us, "Something is out of
tune." -Carl Jung Never preen yourself that
you are prideless: for pride is more invisible than an ant's footprint
on a black stone in the dark of night. -Jami We don’t need greatness. We
need goodness — those small acts of kindness that make another human being
feel acknowledged. |

Big Book Quote Notice that the word "fear" is bracketed alongside the
difficulties with Mr. Brown, Mrs. Jones, the employer, and the wife. This
short word somehow touches about every aspect of our lives. It was an evil
and corroding thread; the fabric of our existence was shot through with it.
It set in motion trains of circumstances which brought us misfortune we felt
we didn't deserve. But did not we, ourselves, set the ball rolling? P67 |

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." |
|
Twenty-Four Hours A.A. Thought For The Day How seriously do I take my obligations to
A.A.? Have I taken all the good I can get out
of it and then let my obligations slide? Or do I constantly feel a deep debt of
gratitude and a deep sense of loyalty to the whole A.A. movement? Am I not only grateful but also proud to be a part of such a wonderful
fellowship, which is doing such marvelous work among
alcoholics? Am I glad to be a part of the great work
that A.A. is doing and do I feel a deep obligation to carry
on that work at every opportunity? Do I feel that I owe
A.A. my loyalty and devotion? Meditation For The Day If your heart is right, your world will
be right. The beginning of all reform must be in
yourself. It's not what happens to you, it's how
you take it. However restricted your circumstances, however little you may be able to remedy
financial affairs, you can always turn to your inward self
and, seeing something not in order there, seek to right it. And as all reform is
from within outward, you will always find that the outward is improved as the inward is improved. As you improve yourself, your outward circumstances will change for the better. The power released from within yourself will change your outward life. Prayer For The Day I pray that the hidden power within me
may be released. I pray that I may not imprison the spirit
that is within me. |

Daily Thought ^*^*^*^*^ "Our
spiritual way of life is safe for future generations if, as a Society, we
resist the temptation to receive money from the outside world. But this
leaves us with a responsibility - one that every member ought to understand.
We cannot skimp when the treasurer of our group passes the hat. Our groups,
our areas, and A.A. as a whole will not function unless our services are
sufficient and their bills are paid. When we meet and defeat the temptation
to take large gifts, we are only being prudent. But when we are generous with
the hat we give a token that we are grateful for our blessings and evidence
that we are eager to share what we have found with all those who still
suffer."

Daily Reflection THROUGHOUT EACH
DAY This is not an
overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime. ALCOHOLICS
ANONYMOUS, p. 84 During my early
years in A. A. I saw Step Ten as a suggestion that I
periodically look at my behavior and reactions. If there
was something wrong, I should admit it; if an apology was
necessary, I should give one. After a few years of sobriety I
felt I should undertake a selfexamination more frequently. Not
until several more years of sobriety had
elapsed did I realize the full meaning of Step Ten, and the
word "continued." "Continued" does not mean occasionally,
or frequently. It means throughout each day. |

Pot Luck Walk In Dry Places Is Life Unfair? Justice The glib remark “Life is Unfair” is sometimes used to dismiss
any concern about trouble or seeming injustice. This usually implies that all
such matters are part of God’s plan….. that somehow God couldn’t create life
without making it unfair. But nobody really knows whether life is unfair or
not, since what we see is only a small part of it. We should know, however, that we can practice fairness
ourselves. We will live better if we forget how unfair life can be and make
the best of the opportunities we have. Some of us could even argue that life treated us unfairly by
giving us a susceptibility to alcoholism. In the long run, this turned out to
be an opportunity to live the Twelve Step program. Some of us even consider
this to be outworking of divine justice that has proved to be eminently fair.
As one AA member put it, It was a case of one of the worst things becoming
one of the best that ever happened to me ! I’ll not let any seeming unfairness or injustice keep me from
doing my best today. My real belief is that there is an eternal justice
underlying all things. |
