Everyone has two personalities, a good and a bad. We
are all dual personalities to some extent. When we were
drinking, the bad personality was in control. We did
things when we were drunk that we would never do when
we were sober. When we sober up, we are different people.
Then we wonder how we could have done the things we did.
But we drink again, and again our bad side comes out.
So we are back and forth, always in conflict with our
other selves, always in a stew. This division of our
selves is not good; we must somehow become unified. We
do this by giving ourselves wholeheartedly to A.A. and
to sobriety. Have I become unified?
Meditation For The Day
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into
the joy of Thy Lord.” These words are for many ordinary
people whom the world may pass by, unrecognizing. Not
to the world-famed, the proud, the wealthy, are these
words spoken, but to the quiet followers who serve God
unobtrusively yet faithfully, who bear their crosses
bravely and put a smiling face to the world. “Enter into
the joy of Thy Lord.” Pass into that fuller spiritual
life, which is a life of joy and peace.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may not desire the world’s applause.
I pray that I may not seek rewards for doing what I
believe is right.
