Your Daily Reprieve for Friday April 24, 2026 From Boston, MA |
|
"There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God." ~Blaise Pascal "When you have faith in God, you don't have to worry about the future. You just know it's all in His hands. You just go and do your best." ~Elder Bryan Mathison “Be willing to be willing to follow directions and you will find your life changing in all areas.” Milwaukie, Oregon, June 1999 Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what makes the instrument stretch --what makes you go beyond the norm. -Cicely Tyson |

BIG
BOOK QUOTE What could we have done better? Were we thinking of ourselves
most of the time? Or were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what
we could pack into the stream of life? P86 |

DAILY
REFLECTIONS LEARNING
TO LOVE OURSELVES Alcoholism
was a lonely business, even though we were surrounded
by people who loved us . . . We were trying to find
emotional security either by dominating or by being dependent
upon others . . . We still vainly tried to be secure by some
unhealthy sort of domination or dependence. AS BILL SEES
IT, p. 252 When I did my
personal inventory I found that I had unhealthy
relationships with most people in my life—my friends and
family, for example. I always felt isolated and lonely. I
drank to dull emotional pain. It was
through staying sober, having a good sponsor and working the
Twelve Steps that I was able to build up my low
self-esteem. First the Twelve Steps taught me to become my own
best friend, and then, when I was able to love myself,
I could reach out and love others. |

POT LUCK "You can always restart your
day." The
first time I heard this quote, it was a revelation to me. I could start my
day over? This was so unlike the way I had lived my life, I could barely
comprehend it. My usual way of living was to wake up and wait for something
negative to set the tone for my day. An angry or hurt look from my
girlfriend, a driver cutting me off, or just not getting what I wanted, and
that was it—the whole day was ruined. And with this attitude, I’d ruin
everyone else’s day as well.
While
it was hard to practice in the beginning, I got better at it as I persevered.
And I had many occasions to practice it. The first thing I had to do,
however, was recognize I had slipped into a funk because I was so used to
feeling bad all the time. But once I did, I remembered I could start over. I
needed help to do this, of course, and that’s when a quick prayer to my
Higher Power helped. Even today, I often get quiet and ask God to reset my
attitude, and it always works. It saves me from ruining my and other people’s
day. Knowing I can always restart my day is another precious gift of
recovery. |
