One thing that keeps me sober is a feeling of loyalty to the
other members of the group. I know I’d be letting them down
if I ever took a drink. When I was drinking, I wasn’t loyal
to anybody. I should have been loyal to my family, but I
wasn’t. I let them down by my drinking. When I came into
A.A., I found a group of people who were not only helping
each other to stay sober, but who were loyal to each other
by staying sober themselves. Am I loyal to my group?
Meditation For The Day
Calmness is constructive of good. Agitation is destructive
of good. I should not rush into action. I should first “be
still and know that He is God.” Then I should act only as
God directs me through my conscience. Only trust, perfect
trust in God, can keep me calm when all around me are
agitated. Calmness is trust in action. I should seek all
things that can help me to cultivate calmness. To attain
material things, the world learns to attain speed. To
attain spiritual things, I have to learn to attain a state
of calm.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may learn how to have inner peace. I pray that
I may be calm, so that God can work through me.
