And, speaking for Dr. Bob and myself, I gratefully declare that had it not been for our wives,Anne and Lois, neither of us could have lived to see A.A."s beginning.
Am I capable of such generous tribute and gratitude to my wife, parents and friends, without whose support I might never have survived to reach A.A.'s doors? I will work on this and try to see the plan my Higher Power is showing me which links our lives together.

I know that if it wasn't for my children I would have not made it. I may have lost them because of my alcoholism, but to actually kill myself at my bottom was stoped by the knowledge that they would find out about it. I couldn't let them go through that. So my children are about my recovery. I always wanted to see them again and that is why I had, had enough of my own B.S. since i won't see them til they come of age I need recovery for myself to be there sober and while I am I make my amends every day to them and that is all i need to be happy today.
have a blessed day to you all

Good morning Ellen,
Thanks for putting the daily reflection on each day. I love getting up and reading them first thing in the morning.
I too am grateful, to those that came before us, that made it possible for AA to begin. Without the non-alcoholics that were around, I wonder what our fellowship would have been like?
In my personal life, I know that without the people who loved me, No matter what, I never would have made it to recovery. Sometimes AA's joke about the Alanons, but I know I would have been dead without them. I think I'll call my mom and sister today and tell them how much I love them.
