IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

04.03.07

We've found principles capable of guiding us well, the kind of principles we want to practice in all our affairs. And we've begun to care enough about other addicts to freely share with them the experience we've had. No matter what the details of our awakenings are like, we all are given the guidance and the love we need to live fulfilling, spiritually oriented lives. ~NA Just for Today
Today I am grateful...
  • that the knowledge that this free floating funk will pass
  • that I eventually did get to sleep last night. When my sleep pattern gets off I feel discombobulated (I love that word). I eventually did sleep and got up late and am taking time to do my morning reading, writing and praying.
  • for that ease of living sobriety brings
  • for time spent with AP yesterday afternoon
This deal is as simple as A.B.C. - Accept, Begin and Continue. It doesn't take a lawyer or some intellectual gorilla to decipher that. And you can do it downtown or uptown or anywhere else. It doesn't make any difference. And if you'll hold on to the God of your understanding, the truth about yourself - namely that you cannot take one drink - and hold on to your AA friends, you'll hold on to total abstinence. And that's the name of this game. - John C.
