~~SPIRITUAL~~ A DAY AT A TIME

very befitting as I recognize 2 years of sobriety today..

11-18 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
"Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little," wrote the Greek philosopher Epicurus.  Now that we're free from addiction, rebuilding our self-respect and winning back the esteem of family and friends, we have to avoid becoming smug about our new-found success.  For most of us, success has always been a heady brew; even in our new life, it's still possible to fall into the dangerous trap of "big-shot-itis."  As insurance, we ought to remember that we're free today only by the grace of God.  WILL I REMEMBER THAT ANY SUCCESS I MAY BE HAVING IS FAR MORE HIS SUCCESS THAN MINE?

TODAY I PRAY
May I keep a constant string-on-the-finger reminder that I have found freedom through the grace of God -- just so I don't let my pride try to convince me I did it all myself.  May I learn to cope with success by ascribing it to a Higher Power, not to m own questionable superiority.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Learn to deal with success.
