A.A. Thought for the
Day
As we became alcoholics, the bad effects of drinking
came more and more to outweigh the good effects. But the strange part of it is
that, no matter what drinking did to us, loss of our health, our jobs, our
money, and our homes, we still stuck to it and depended on it. Our dependence on
drinking became an obsession. In A.A., we find a new outlook on life. We learn
how to change from alcoholic thinking to sober thinking. And we find out that we
can no longer depend on drinking for anything.
We depend on a Higher Power
instead. Have I entirely given up that dependence on drinking?
Meditation for the
Day
I will try to
keep my life calm and unruffled. This is my great task, to find peace and
acquire serenity. I must not harbor disturbing thoughts. No matter what fears,
worries, and resentments I may have, I must try to think of constructive things,
until calmness comes. Only when I am calm can I act as a channel for God's
spirit.
Prayer for the
Day
I pray that I may build
up instead of tearing down. I pray that I may be constructive and not
destructive.
