AA Thought for the Day
June 20 Guidance I promise to watch for every opportunity to turn toward my Higher Power for guidance. I know where this power is: it resides within me, as clear as a mountain brook, hidden in the hills -- it is the unsuspected Inner Resource. - Daily Reflections, p. 28 Thought to Ponder . . . The power within me is far greater than any fear before me. AA-related 'Alconym' . . . F A I T H = Facing An Inner Truth Heals. ~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~ Egomania "Our egomania digs two disastrous pitfalls. Either we insist on dominating the people we know, or we depend upon them far too much. If we lean too heavily on people, they will sooner or later fail us, for they are human, too, and cannot possibly meet our own incessant demands. . . We have not once sought to be one in a family, to be a friend among friends, to be a worker among workers, to be a useful member of society." 1952AAWS, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 53 Thought to Consider . . . It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* E G O = Easing God Out *~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Staying stopped >From "A.A. Taught Him To Handle Sobriety:" "Like most alcoholics I have known, I DID quit drinking at various times -- once for ten months on my own and during other interludes when I was hospitalized. It's no great trick to stop drinking, the trick is to STAY stopped." 1976, Alcoholics Anonymous, page 554 *~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "For me, there is no better feeling than the one I get running into another alcoholic when I'm feeling down. We alcoholics are bonded together by the sadness of a deadly disease and the miracle of a spiritual solution." December 2006 "Between a Bartender and a Bad-Tempered Boss," AA Grapevine *~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "God has abundantly supplied this world with fine doctors, psychologists, and practitioners of various kinds. Do not hesitate to take your health problems to such persons. Most of them give freely of themselves, that their fellows may enjoy sound minds and bodies." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 133~ "So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making. They arise out of ourselves, and the alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot, though he usually doesn't think so." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, How It Works, pg. 62~ "We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free." -Alcoholics Anonymous p. 133 (The Family Afterward) "If we ask, God will certainly forgive our derelictions." -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 65 (Step Six) Misc. AA Literature - Quote The A.A. preoccupation with sobriety is sometimes misunderstood. To some, this single virtue appears to be the sole dividend of our Fellowship. We are thought to be dried-up drunks who otherwise have changed little, or not at all, for the better. Such a surmise widely misses the truth. We know that permanent sobriety can be attained only by a most revolutionary change in the life and outlook of the individual--by a spiritual awakening that can banish the desire to drink.' 'You are asking yourself, as all of us must: 'Who am I?'...'Where am I?'...'Whence do I go?' The process of enlightenment is usually slow. But, in the end, our seeking always brings a finding. These great mysteries are, after all, enshrined in completely simplicity. The willingness to grow is the essence of all spiritual development. Prayer for the Day: Let me forgive myself and live freely just as I believe I am meant to.
