Daily Reflections

A DAILY TUNE-UP

Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's (HP)* will
into all of our activities.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85

How do I maintain my spiritual condition? For me it's quite simple:
on a daily basis I ask my Higher Power to grant me the gift of
sobriety for that day! I have talked to many alcoholics who have
gone back to drinking and I always ask them: "Did you pray for
sobriety the day you took your first drink?" Not one of them said
yes. As I practice Step Ten and try to keep my house in order on
a daily basis, I have the knowledge that if I ask for a daily
reprieve, it will be granted.

Thank you for that, Rosie. I was sitting here feeling overwhelmed about how
I'm going to be able to do this, and this gives me an answer.

She's a good woman. Don't know why I resent her sometimes. Maybe
I have issues with my mother. hehehe. God, this cold sucks. And
being hungover with a cold is the worst thing ever.

Down by the sea
She's gone with the hula hula boys
She don't care about me
They're signing,
