~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

The success of The Program, I've been taught, lies in large measure in the readiness and willingness of its members to go to any lengths to help others tyrannized by their addictions.  If my readiness and willingness cools, then I stand in danger of losing all that I've gained.  I must never become unwilling to give away what I have, for only by so doing will I be privileged to keep it.  DO I TAKE TO HEART THE SAYING,  "Out of self into God into others..."?

TODAY I PRAY

May I never be too busy to answer a fellow addict's call for help.  May I never become so wound up in my pursuits that I forget that my own continuing recovery depends on that helping -- a half-hour or so on the telephone, a call in person, a lunch date, whatever the situation calls for.  May I know what my priorities must be.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

Helping helps me.
