Your Daily Reprieve for Wednesday April 2, 2025 From Pineville, NCC |

Magic lies in challenging what seems impossible. “If you haven’t been to a meeting for a while, come, and add to the
mix ... we need you. Come for yourself, come for the Fellowship, come to celebrate sobriety, and come for the alcoholic who still suffers.” ~“San Francisco, California, February 1993 A man told me to jump for joy when I am persecuted. I’ve discovered that
obeying His words by jumping for joy when I don’t feel like it causes joy to jump into my heart and puts a smile on my face. It overrides my unpleasant feelings with fun and silliness. "Put love first. Entertain thoughts that give life. And
when a thought or resentment, or hurt, or fear comes your way, have another
thought that is more powerful -- a thought that is love." --Mary Manin Morrissey |

Big Book
Quote If, when you honestly
want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have
little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic. If that
be the case, you may be suffering from an illness which only a spiritual
experience will conquer. P44 |

12&12 After three years
of trial and error in selecting the most workable tenets upon which the
Society could be based, and after a large amount of failure in getting
alcoholics to recover, three successful groups emerged--the first at Akron,
the second at New York, and the third at Cleveland. Even then it was hard to
find two score of sure recoveries in all three groups. |

Reflection CHARACTER
BUILDING Demands
made upon other people for too much attention, protection,
and love can only invite domination or revulsion.
. . . TWELVE STEPS
AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 44 When I
uncovered my need for approval in the Fourth Step, I didn't
think it should rank as a character defect. I wanted to think of
it more as an asset (that is, the desire to please people). It
was quickly pointed out to me that this "need" can be very
crippling. Today I still enjoy getting the approval of
others, but I am not willing to pay the price I used to pay
to get it. I will not bend myself into a pretzel to get others to
like me. If I get your approval, that's fine; but if I don't, I
will survive without it. I am responsible for speaking what
I perceive to be the truth, not what I think others may
want to hear. Similarly, my
false pride always kept me overly concerned
about my reputation. Since being enlightened in the A.A.
program, my aim is to improve my character. |

Pot Luck The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and
without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.
~ Horace Bushnell Our
Higher Power is always with us, through the joyful and the fearful times. We
often don't remember to think of God though, except when we’re troubled. Then
or feelings of terror and hopelessness push us to seek help from God, and
with this help comes renewed strength and faith that our life is cared for by
a greater power than ourselves. It
seems we shouldn't need difficulties to remind us that we can always rely on
God, but it’s easy to be complacent when times are good. We can choose to
expand and strengthen our relationship with God anytime. Through prayer,
meditation, and a conscious attempt to feel God's presence in all situations,
we’ll come to know and trust God more fully. ——————————————————— Today I will not wait for a for a troubling moment to think of
God. I'll feel God's presence now! Casey,
Carey and Pyle, Homer, In God’s Care c1991 February 14 |
