. . . our Society has concluded that it has but one high mission to carry the A.A. message to those who dont know theres a way out. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 151

The Light to freedom shines bright on my fellow alcoholics as each one of us challenges the other to grow. The Steps to self-improvement have small beginnings, but each Step builds the ladder out of the pit of despair to new hope. Honesty becomes my tool to unfurl the chains which bound me. A sponsor, who is a caring listener, can help me to truly hear the message guiding me to freedom.

I ask God for the courage to live in such a way that the Fellowship may be a testimony to His favor. This mission frees me to share my gifts of wellness through a spirit of readiness to serve others.


You are now reading from the book Twenty Four Hours a Day Hardcover (24 Hours)

A.A. Thought for the Day

I shall not wait to be drafted for service to A.A. I shall volunteer. I shall be loyal in my attendance, generous in my giving, kind in my criticism, creative in my suggestions, loving in my attitudes. I shall give to A.A. my interest, my enthusiasm, my devotion, and most of all, myself. Do I also accept this as my A.A. credo?

Meditation for the Day

Prayer is of many kinds, but of whatever kind, prayer is the linking up of the soul and mind to God. So, if prayer is only a glance of faith, a look or a word of love, or just a feeling of confidence in the goodness and purpose in the universe, still the result of that prayer is added strength to meet all temptations and to overcome them. Even if no supplication is expressed, all the supply of strength that is necessary is secured, because the soul, being linked and united to God, receives from Him all spiritual help needed. The soul, when in its human body, still needs the things belonging to its heavenly habitation.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may be taught how to pray. I pray that I may be linked through prayer to the mind and will of God.

Hazelden

(Let it be a God or Higher Power of your own understanding)

Ps. I will be discontinuing the Hazelden posts as they are not A.A. approved literature. I love the message within these dailies & would recommend anyone to have their own copy. Apologies to anyone who has particularly enjoyed them here! Happy Sober Day to all, Danielle x

It's funny that this subjest came up. For mr at this point in my sobriety I do not care who knows that I was a drunk and almost lost my family and my son. I am careful yes to let some people know but on the other hand if I tell someone and they tell someone ti me that is a blessing for me . None of you saw how I looked when I was at my lowest point but to look at me today (as probably most of you can) I feel beautiful, it was the alcohol that stole my life , my love for anything and almost killed me.

Today my higher power is loving and caring and understands what happened and what is happening now. I could not ask for anymore than what I have received in my sobriety and will not ask, all I can do is ask fir guidance, and read and respond to posts that I feel like I can help another alcoholic stay sober.

Thanks I will hush now-till later!
