Stools & Bottles Day Thirty
Thirtieth Daily Reminder --

The unmanageable lives which we have developed from years of self-centered drinking have taught us our weakness apart from the help and influence of a Higher Power. AA suggests that we avail ourselves of God's power. It advises us to pray unselfish prayers that help us and are a blessing to mankind.

Daily Inventory --

Have we a relationship with God? Is there a brotherhood of man? Are we our brothers keeper? Do we understand the power of unselfish prayer?

Suggested Meditation --

Some members claim that AA is a selfish program. Is this true or is AA just the opposite--a program which frees us from self-centeredness? Their statements are well meant but most misleading. It seems that intelligence, not selfishness, actuates our recovery from alcoholism. Step 11 suggests that we pray to lose self-will and that our prayers include welfare of others.

Spiritual Contact --

Our Father, let us see beyond life's material needs to our 24-hour spiritual needs. Clear our minds of selfishness. May we be guided by Your Will.

Daily Physical Audit --

Most alcoholics require some form of moderate exercise to keep fit physically. Since ignorance of the harm of overexertion does not shield us from its physical penalties, we should work within the individual limits of our strength. Outdoor exercise taken once or twice a week stimulates circulation, help digestion, aids elimination and adds years to our lives.

Strange, I put Stools and Bottles in the search engine and this didn't come up. Guess I didn't have the right wording.
