~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME

09/25
REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
At the suggestion of a long-timer in The Program, I began taking "recovery inventories" periodically.  The results showed me -- clearly and unmistakably -- that the promises of The Program have been true for me.  I am not the sick person I was in years past; I am no longer bankrupt in all areas; I have a new life and a path to follow, and I'm at peace with myself most of the time.  And that's a far way from the time in my life when I dreaded facing each new day.  Perhaps we should all write recovery inventories from time to time, showing how The Program is working for each of us.  JUST FOR TODAY, WILL I TRY TO SOW FAITH WHERE THERE IS FEAR?

TODAY I PRAY
God, let me compare my new life with the old one -- just to see how things have changed for me.  May I make progress reports for myself now and then -- and for those who are newer to The Program.  May these reports be -- hearteningly -- about "what I am doing" rather than -- smugly -- about "what I have done."

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Has The Program kept its promise?  Have I kept mine?
