A.A. Thought For The Day
What
makes A.A. work? The first thing is to have a revulsion against myself
and my way of living. Then I must admit I was helpless, that alcohol had
me licked and I couldn't do anything about it. The next thing is to
honestly want to quit the old life. Then I must surrender my life to a
Higher Power, put my drinking problem in His hands and leave it there.
After these things are done, I should attend meetings regularly for
fellowship and sharing. I should also try to help other alcoholics. Am I
doing these things?
Meditation For The Day
You
are so made that you can only carry the weight of twenty-four hours, no
more. If you weigh yourself down with the years behind and the days
ahead, your back breaks. God has promised to help with the burdens of
the day only. If you are foolish enough to gather again that burden of
the past and carry it, then indeed you cannot expect God to help you
bear it. So forget that which lies behind you and breathe in the
blessing of each new day.
Prayer For The Day
I
pray that I may realize that, for good or bad, past days have ended. I
pray that I may face each new day, the coming twenty-four hours, with
hope and courage.
