August 2 At the moment we are trying to put our lives in order. But this is not an end in itself. Alcoholics Anonymous p.77
How easily I can become misdirected in appoaching the Eigth Step! I wish to be free, somehow transformed by my Sixth and Seventh Step work. Now, more than ever, I am vulnerable to my own self-interest and hidden agenda. I am careful to remember that self-satisfaction, which sometimes comes through the spoken forgiveness of those I have harmed, is not my true objective. I become willing to make amends, knowing that through this process I am mended and made fit to move forward, to know and desire God's will for me. Daily Reflections p. 223
