~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
Sorry I've missed posting. Here is yesterdays and today's reading. Both are very strong and what I keep telling myself when my mind begins to wonder.. What if..
03/21 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The Program teaches us that we have an incurable illness. We always get worse, never better. But we're fortunate in that our incurable illness can be arrested, so long as we don't take the first drink one day at a time. Hightoned academic research and ivorytower studies to the contrary, we know from experience that we can no more control our drinking than we can control the ocean tides. DO I HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT I AM POWERLESS OVER ALCOHOL?
TODAY I PRAY
May I never fall prey to any short-term research results which tell me that alcoholism can be cured, that I would be safe to begin drinking again, supposedly, in a responsible manner. My experience--and the experience of those in The Program -- will outshout such theories. May I know that my disease is arrestable, but not curable. May I know that if I took up my active addiction again, I would begin where I left off -- closer than ever to possible death or insanity.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Be wary of new theories.

03/22 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Once in a great while, I find myself thinking that perhaps things weren't quite so bad as they seemed to be. At such moments, I force myself to realize that my ILLNESS is talking to me, trying to tempt me into denying that I am, in fact, afflicted with an illness. One of the key action steps of The Program is that we give our illness to God as we understand Him, accepting our powerlessness in the face of His greater Power. DO I BELIEVE THAT THE GRACE OF GOD CAN DO FOR ME WHAT I COULD NEVER DO FOR MYSELF?
TODAY I PRAY
May I know that much of our lives depend on faith. For we cannot know the limits of space and time -- or explain the mysteries of life and death. But when we see God working through us -- and through others who have found new life in The Program -- it is all the evidence we need to know that He exists.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
The Big Wheel runs by faith.

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end. ~Ursula K. LeGuin
