It doesn’t do much good to come to meetings only once in
a while and sit around, hoping to get something out of
the program. That’s all right at first, but it won’t help
us very long. Sooner or later we have to get into action,
by coming to meetings regularly, by giving a personal
witness of our experience with alcohol, and by trying to
help other alcoholics. Building a new life takes all the
energy that we used to spend on drinking. Am I spending
at least as much time and effort on the new life that I’m
trying to build in A.A.?Meditation For The DayWith God’s help, I will build a protective screen around
myself which will keep out all evil thoughts. I will
fashion it out of my attitude toward God and my attitude
toward other people. When one worrying or impatient
thought enters my mind, I will put it out at once. I
know that love and trust are the solvents for the worry
and frets of life. I will use them to form a protective
screen around me.Prayer For The Day

corrode my protective screen against all evil thoughts.
I pray that I may banish all these from my life.
