~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
07/10 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The Program is a road, not a resting place. Before we came to The Program -- and, for some of us, many times afterward, -- most of us looked for answers to our living problems in religion, philosophy, psychology, self-help groups, and so on. Invariably, these fields held forth the goals that were precisely what we wanted; they offered freedom, calm, confidence and joy. But there was one major loophole: They never gave us a workable method of getting there. They never told us how to get from where we were to where we were supposed to be. DO I TRULY BELIEVE THAT I CAN FIND EVERYTHING THAT I NEED AND REALLY WANT THROUGH THE TWELVE STEPS?
TODAY I PRAY
May I know that, once through the Twelve Steps, I am not on a plane surface. For life is not a flat field, but a slope upward. And those flights of steps must be taken over and over and remembered. May I be sure that once I have made them totally familiar to me, they will take me anywhere I want to go.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
The Steps are a road, not a resting place.
