We’re in A.A. for two main reasons: to keep sober ourselves
and to help others to keep sober. It’s a well known fact
that helping others is a big part of keeping sober yourself.
It’s also been proved that it’s very hard to keep sober all
by yourself. A lot of people have tried it and failed. They
come to a few A.A. meetings and then stay sober alone for a
few months, but usually they eventually get drunk. Do I know
that I can’t stay sober successfully alone?
Meditation For The Day
Look by faith into that place beyond space or time where God
dwells and whence you came and to which you shall eventually
return. “Look unto Him and be saved.” To look beyond material
things is within the power of everyone’s imagination. Faith’s
look saves you from despair. Faith’s look saves you from worry
and care. Faith’s look brings a peace beyond all understanding.
Faith’s look brings you all the strength you need. Faith’s look
gives you a new and vital power and a wonderful peace and
serenity.
Prayer For The day
I pray that I may have faith’s look. I pray that by faith I
may look beyond the now to eternal life.
