A Quote for the Day

from A Day At A Time... April 2 Reflections for the Day "What causes slips?  What happens to a person who apparently seems to understand and live the way of The Program, yet decides to go out again?  What can I do to keep this from happening to me?  Is there any consistency amoung those who slip, any common denominators that seem to apply?  We can each draw our own conclusions, but we learn in The Program that certain INactions will all but guarantee an eventual slip.  WHEN A PERSON WHO HAS SLIPPED IS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO RETURN TO THE PROGRAM, DO I LISTEN CAREFULLY TO WHAT HE OR SHE SAYS ABOUT THE SLIP?" Today I Pray "May my Higher Power - if I listen to Him - show me if I am setting myself up to get high again.  May I glean from the experiences of others that the reasons for such a lapse of resolve or such an accident of will most often stem from what I have NOT done rather than from what I have done.  May I "keep coming back" to meetings." Today I Will Remember Keep coming back. Good morning Peeps 

Having recently "come back into the fold", I can really appreciate this thought for the day. For *me*, it was ****iness.  It was willfullness.  It was a sense of f*** it - I'm gonna have fun.  Well it wasn't all that fun.  It's like they say, "A little AA will REALLY mess up one's drinking"  :-) Thanks for posting these!
