The A.A. program is more a way of building a new life
than just a way of getting over drinking, because in A.A.
we don’t just stop drinking. We did that plenty of times
in the old days when we went “on the wagon.” And, of
course, we always started to drink again, because we were
only waiting for the time when we could fall off. Once
we’ve gotten sober through the A.A. program, we start
going uphill. In our drinking days, we were going downhill,
getting worse and worse. We either go down or up. Am I
going uphill, getting better and better?Meditation For The DayI will try to obey God’s will day in and day out, in the
wilderness plains as well as on the mountaintops of
experience. It is in the daily strivings that perseverance
counts. I believe that God is Lord of little things, the
Divine Controller of little happenings. I will persevere
in this new way of life. I know that nothing in the day
is too small to be a part of God’s scheme.Prayer For The Day

I pray that the little stones which I put into the mosaic
of my life may make a worthwhile pattern. I pray that I
may persevere and so find harmony and beauty.
