~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The Program, for me, is not a place nor a philosophy, but a highway to freedom.  The highway leads me toward the goal of a "spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps."  The highway doesn't get me to the goal as quickly as I sometimes wish, but I try to remember that God and I work from different timetables.  But the goal is there, and I know that the Twelve Steps will help me reach it.  HAVE I COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT I  -- AND ANYONE -- CAN NOW DO WHAT I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE?

TODAY I PRAY
As I live The Program, may I realize more and more that it is a means to an end rather than an end in itself.  May I keep in mind that the kind of spirituality it calls for is never complete, but is the essence of change and growth, a drawing nearer to an ideal state.  May I be wary of setting time-oriented goals for myself to measure my spiritual progress.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Timetables are human inventions.
