Daily Reflections

"WE ASKED HIS PROTECTION"

We asked His protection and care with complete abandon.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 59

I could not manage life alone. I had tried that road and failed. My
"ultimate sin" dragged me down to the lowest level I have ever
reached and, unable even to function, I accepted the fact that I
desperately needed help. I stopped fighting and surrendered
entirely to God. Only then did I start growing! God forgave me. A
Higher Power had to have saved me, because the doctors doubted
that I would survive. I have forgiven myself now and I enjoy a
freedom I have never before experienced. I've opened my heart
and mind to Him. The more I learn, the less I know - a humbling
fact - but I sincerely want to keep growing. I enjoy serenity, but
only when I entrust my life totally to God. As long as I am honest
with myself and ask for His help, I can maintain this rewarding
existence. Just for today, I strive to live His will for me - soberly. I
thank God that today I can choose not to drink. Today, life is
beautiful!

Thought for the day: There will always be times when we don't know what the answer is to a problem in life. We must first turn our eye's inward to see if the problem starts within us and if so, be willing to take the action needed to correct ourselves. By doing this we will almost always find the grace and mercy to forgive any wrong doings that may be the cause of others actions. Today I am responsible for me and how I decide to handle life.

Thought for the day: Can we be honest about the struggles we have in life....?? Is there someone in your life you can really talk too, who knows when something isn't right because you have allowed them in.....? Without accountability to someone we will minimize and justify problems kept to ourselves.....The point of life is maturity, to work on becoming better people as we age...

Thought for the day: No matter what your back ground is.....No matter how you were raised......No matter what your life has become......No matter how your treated......No matter how you treat others......You can change if that is what you want....How much pain is required before changing is really up to you....There will come a point where it doesn't hurt as bad to change as it does to staying the same......

Thought for the day: The challenge for us all is to do what is right in the face of so much wrong....I find it interesting that all you need to do is get enough people to scream about their rights to hurt themselves...and, the next thing you know... "What used to be wrong and against the standard of a nation protected by a loving God" becomes right and even welcomed".......If we push against the creator long enough he will at some point push back.

Thought for the day: How important is it really...???? There will be plenty of situations in life in which I will have no control over whatsoever. I do not have to be right all the time..(in fact I'm wrong a lot)..It doesn't have to be my way or the highway..(I might get us lost lol )..My opinion is just "MY" opinion, (probably makes me sound crazy anyways lol).Lighten up and don't take everything so personnel, the world wont stop spinning if I'm not around pushing all the buttons.

Thought for the day: I have worked with and talked people thru a lot of problems in life. It seem for the most part there are two major issues... #1. "I" have problems in life that "I" generated thru my poor choices but am unwilling to change the way "I" do things... #2. "I" have unrealistic expectations of others to do for me what "I" should do for myself..... Nobody is immune from having to deal with these, only some will do what's required to say "yes I need to change, what must we do..?"...and yet others will still blame everything around them...

Thought for the day: I truly believe that what God wants from us is not perfection....he wants commitment...commitment from us in our hearts to be people who would rather do what's right than wrong. Do what we know in our hearts to be the right thing in all situations and because we are human we need guidance to do this. That is why we have been given the bible, prayer and church gatherings so that together we may seek out what is right. I know churches are not perfect and if you find a perfect church..run away as fast as you can. I need and want to be around people who work at bettering themselves because we all have issues...even the guy behind the pulpit...

Thought for the day: We don't like to be told what's right or wrong, I want to make the rules. We don't like the idea of following or the idea that there is something greater than ourselves at work out here. I look around and I see how well that's working for us and I start to understand that Gods laws are really meant to keep us safe from ourselves!

Thought for the day: So how come all the mighty men of the bible were in one way or another a screw up like most of us. What makes them so different than people now days that allowed God to use them even tho they were flawed? Could it be faith, how to be humble and admit their faults to the Lord with true repentance.? Maybe its because they never felt bad they got caught...they actually felt bad for going against Gods will in the first place...I will think on this today.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day

A.A. Thought For The Day

"The tremendous fact for every one of us is that we have
discovered a common solution. We who have found this
solution to our alcoholic problem, we who are properly armed
with the facts about ourselves, can generally win the
entire confidence of another alcoholic. We who are making
the approach to new prospects have had the same difficulty
they have had. We obviously know what we are talking about.
Our whole deportment shouts at new prospects that we are
people with a real answer." Am I a person with the real
answer to the alcoholic problems of others?

Meditation For The Day

For straying from the right way there is no cure except to
keep so close to the thought of God that nothing, no other
interest, can seriously come between you and God. Sure of
that, you can stay on God's side. Knowing the way, nothing
can prevent your staying in the way and nothing can cause
you to seriously stray from it. God has promised peace if
you stay close to Him, but not leisure. You still have to
carry on in the world. He has promised heart-rest and
comfort, but not pleasure in the ordinary sense. Peace and
comfort bring real inward happiness.

Prayer For The Day

I pray that I may keep my feet on the way. I pray that I
may stay on God's side.

Walk In Dry Places
Confidence In the next phase.
Assurance "God has carried me this far. I will not be let down now." These are brave words of recovering people who find themselves facing new doubts and fears. There's nothing unrealistic about this attitude. Those of us in 12 Step programs and beneficiaries of a miraculous chain of events that brought our movement into being. Our responsibility is to continue carrying the message by proving how the program works. It's our success in dealing with life's problems that eventually attracts others to our fellow ship. The best proof of how our spiritual program works is showing how our Higher Power continues to solve problems in our lives. We don't always know what the next phase in our lies will bring. We can only know that with God, all sorts of wonderful things continue to be possible. Though I can't see around the corner, I'll know today that my Higher Power will guide me smoothly and safely through the next phase.
