Alcoholics who are living in a blind alley refuse to be really honest
with themselves or with other people. They’re running away from life
and won’t face things as they are. They won’t give up their
resentments. They’re too sensitive and too easily hurt. They refuse
to try to be unselfish. They still want everything for themselves. And
no matter how many disastrous experiences they have had with
drinking, they still do it over and over again. There’s only one way to
get out of that blind alley way of living and that’s to change your
thinking. Have I changed my thinking?

Meditation For The Day
I know that the vision and power that I receive from God are
limitless, as far as spiritual things are concerned. But in temporal and
material things, I must submit to limitations. I know that I cannot see
the road ahead. I must go just one step at a time, because God does
not grant me a longer view. I am in uncharted waters, limited by my
temporal and spatial life, but unlimited in my spiritual life.Prayer For The DayI pray that, in spite of my material limitations, I may follow God’s
way. I pray that I may learn that trying to do His will is perfect
freedom.
