My spiritual readings for this morning tell me"When I have learnt to love God betterthan my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. Only by the Grace of God(His unmerited favor for me)do I enter today,sober and striving thru prayer and meditation to improve my contact with my HP ,asking to know His will for me and to take action by helping someone which in turn helps me and gives God the glory!!! Just for Today ,we don't have to drink alcohol!

Well, you've just done it... helped one person, that is. I so need to be reminded to listen for my HP every single day. Thanks. I'm gonna get on my knees for a few minutes right now. One of these times something is going to happen, I just know it. L
I will never know why God allowed me to get and stay sober while others are allowed to die drunk.
It is impossible to say this without sounding egotistical but maybe just maybe God wants me to help someone else.
I could not get sober no matter what but God got me sober through his helpers in AA.
I just showed up, reported for duty and was willing to try someone elses guidance for the first time in my life. It worked and continues to work as long as I remember I did not get me Sober.
God and AA got me sober.

Aloha Mike...AH the wisdom trove...I also reached that place of understanding on this journey along with "When I can love myself and others as God loves me and others I will find myself resident in the actual will of God." Practice, Practice, Practice.
