A Quote for Today

taken from A DAY AT A TIME 04/30 REFLECTIONS FOR THE DAY We're taught in The Program that "faith without works is dead." How true this is for the addicted person. For if an addicted person fails to perfect or enlarge his or her spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, s/he can't survive the certain trials and low spots ahead. If s/he doesn't work, s/he'll surely return to his or her addiction, s/he'll likely die. Then faith will be dead indeed. DO I BELIEVE, THROUGH MY FAITH, THAT I CAN BE UNIQUELY USEFUL TO THOSE WHO STILL SUFFER? TODAY I PRAY May my faith in my Higher Power and in the influence of The Program be multiplied within me as I pass it along to others who are overcoming similar addictions. May I be certain that my helping others is not simply repaying my debts, but it is the only way I know to continue my spiritual growth and maintain my own sobriety. TODAY I WILL REMEMBER The more faith I can give, the more I will have. Question.. when YOU read these passages from A DAY AT A TIME.. and it talks about addictions.. do YOU think of your food addiction?? or another addiction..?? or someone else and not yourself?? just curious.. for myself.. I mainly of my addiction to alcohol.. and have to purposely make my thoughts think of the addiction I have for food. I was just curious.. hugss

Thanks Rhondie.....when I read these it is about my food addiction and family with other addictions......I love these passages and THANK you for sharing.....
