**SPIRITUAL** A DAY AT A TIME
TODAY I POSTED TWO DAYS.. YESTERDAYS AND TODAYS.... I know from meeting that many of us have the common bond of yesterdays reading.. "not fitting in.." And for myself.. I have found the cure in today's reading
I love both of these...

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
I consider myself a "loner" in the days when I was actively addicted. Although I was often with other people-saw them, heard them, touched them-most of my important dialogues were with my inner self. I was certain that nobody else would ever understand. Considering my former opinion of myself, it's likely that I didn't WANT anybody to understand. I smiled through gritted teeth even as I was dying on the inside. HAVE MY INSIDES BEGUN TO MATCH MY OUTSIDE SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THE PROGRAM?
TODAY I PRAY
May my physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual selves become one, a whole person again. I thank my Higher Power for showing me how to match my outside to my inside, to laugh when I feel like laughing, to cry when I feel sad, so recognize my own anger or fear or guilt. I pray for wholeness.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I am becoming whole.
05/19 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "When I was driven to my knees by alcohol, I was made ready to ask for the gift of faith," wrote AA co-founder Bill W. "And all was changed. Never again, my pains and problems notwithstanding, would I experience my former desolation. I saw the universe to be lighted by God's love; I am alone no more." AM I CONVINCED THAT MY NEW LIFE IS REAL AND THAT IT WILL LAST SO LONG AS I CONTINUE DOING WHAT THE PROGRAM AND TWELVE STEPS SUGGEST THAT I DO? TODAY I PRAY May God be the ever-present third party in my relationships with others, whether they are casual or involve a deep emotional commitment. May I be aware that if there is real friendship or love between human beings, God's spirit is always present. May I feel His spirit in all my human relationships. TODAY I WILL REMEMBER God is the Divine Third hugsss with LOVE
