A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

One thing that keeps me on the right track today is a feeling of loyalty to other members of The Program, no matter where they may be.  We depend on each other.  I know, for example, that I'd be letting them down if I ever took a drink.  When I came into The Program, I found a group of people who were not only helping each other to stay sober, but who were loyal to each other by staying sober themselves.  Am I loyal to my group and to my friends in The Program?

TODAY I PRAY

I thank God for the loyalty and fellowship oh the group and for the mutuality of commitment that binds us together.  May I give to the group in the same proportion that I take from it.  Having been a taker during so many of my years, my giving used to be no more than a commodity, for which I expected to be paid in approval or love or favors.  May I learn the joy of pure giving, with no strings attached, no expectation of reward.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

A perfect gift asks nothing in return.
