Daily Reflections

INTO ACTION

A.A. is more than a set of principles; it is a society
of
alcoholics in action. We must carry the message, else
we
ourselves can wither and those who haven't been given
the
truth may die.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 13

I desperately wanted to live, but if I was to succeed,
I
had to become active in our God-given program. I joined
what became my group, where I opened the hall, made
coffee,
and cleaned up. I had been sober about three months
when
an oldtimer told me I was doing Twelfth-Step work. What
a
satisfying realization that was! I felt I was really
accomplishing something. God had given me a second
chance,
A.A. had shown me the way, and these gifts were not
only
free - they were also priceless! Now the joy of seeing
newcomers grow reminds me of where I have come from,
where
I am now, and the limitless possibilities that lie
ahead.
I need to attend meetings because they recharge my
batteries so that I have light when it's needed. I'm
still
a beginner in service work, but already I am receiving
more than I'm giving. I can't keep it unless I give it
away. I am responsible when another reaches out for
help.
I want to be there - sober.

Precisely what are the principles, and precisely what is the message?

Bob,

I think it likely that you knew Rosie would chose not to answer your
question. So why pose it ? :^)

Does that mean you would answer his questions if someone who did not
"batter AA" (your words) asked them ?

BTW, your email had an attachment. Did you intend to send an
attachment ?

I believe it's a question decidedly pertinent to this newsgroup.

Why did you bother to ask?

I agree.

> Why did you bother to ask?

As soon as I posted that message I immediately regretted having done
so. I posted it while bored and also mentally exhausted after trying
to explain what I understood the principles of AA's programme to be .
I hoped it would make you do some work, albeit very little in
comparison with the task you set me :^)).

FWIW, I doubt it will be the last post I shall regret sending (<g>)

Best regards

JB.

I notice that in your haste to correct the imperfect, you didn't
actually answer the question.
