Day 06 - Stools & Bottles
Sixth Daily Reminder --
Confused and weakened by compulsive drinking, we vaguely expected AA to cure us overnight. We learned that alcoholism cannot ve cured but can be arrested. We found that contented sobriety comes from the new daily habits which we form in seconds, minutes and hours of simple AA living.

Daily Inventory --
Why is a personality change necessary to our recovery? Can we recover from alcoholism overnight? We study of our AA books improve our thinking?

Suggested Meditation --
Success in AA is in proportion to the 12 Step habits which we form and practice. Alcoholic thinking keeps us in rebellion and slavery. Dishonesty and reservations precede failure. Fear of a life without alcohol is an unconscious desire to control drinking. Our freedom lies in admitting these facts and in surrendering our defects to "God as we understand Him." Our understanding starts with surrender.

Spiritual Contact --
Our Father, open our minds to AA truths. Release from our old habits and fill us with a desire to recreate new AA spiritual habits.

Daily Physical Audit --
Good physical health should not be overlooked as a requisite of alcoholic rehabilitation. Because an AA member is well enough to be out of bed does not imply that he is strong and vigorous or free from signs of disease. Too many of our fellowship become the victims of untimely death because they refuse to repair their damaged bodies and continue to draw upon their limited energy which alcoholic excesses have so nearly depleted.
