Really? But you’ve “done” your Seventh Step, right? Um Hmmm.
This applies to me as well folks! Today’s Reflection;
Shortcomings Removed
“When I put the Seventh Step into action I must remember that there are no blanks to fill in.”
Isn’t this interesting? If I hadn’t read this I’d be wondering what they meant. They go on to say;
“It […]
“Of myself I am nothing, the Father doeth the works.”
From page 75 in AA’s 12&12;
“During this process of learning more about humility, the most profound result of all was the change in our attitude toward God. And this was true whether we had been believers or unbelievers. We began to get over the idea that […]
The title of today’s Daily Reflection is Pride. Without going into detail, this reading is very appropriate for me right now! I really like what it says because it truly nails the subject and transcends pitiful and pathetic injustices.
“For thousands of years we have been demanding more than our share of security, prestige, and romance. […]
Doesn’t necessarily work if you’re an alcoholic…
From The Seventh Step in the 12&12;
“True, most of us thought good character was desirable, but obviously good character was something one needed to get on with the business of being self-satisfied.”
Yeah - right. In the case of most alcoholics and also most humans, we were previously told “Instead […]
Sooo - I’m human just like you :)
With an added feature - alcoholism… Permanent, progressive, fatal and damn patient! Mighty damn patient.
Mary Christine said: “Hang in there and know that God loves you and is being kind and loving towards you even though it feels horrible.” Think about that for a moment. It reminds me […]
Perfect timing Mary Christine :)
I’ve written on this before and it is both timely and - well, timely.
From the Daily Reflections for July 9th;
I Am An Instrument
Humbly Asked Him To Remove Our Shortcomings. (12 and 12, p. 70)
The subject of humility is a difficult one. Humility is not thinking less of myself than I ought […]
From Silkworth.net;
The Seventh Step Prayers
“I humbly offered myself to God, as I then understood Him, to do with me as He would. I placed myself unreservedly under His care and direction. I admitted for the first time that of myself I was nothing; that without Him I was lost. I ruthlessly faced my sins and […]
No alcoholic can stay sober at all…
Then, directly related to self-centeredness in the extreme, “Unless they develop much more of this precious quality than may be required just for sobriety, they still haven’t much chance of becoming truly happy.”
Which, for now, is where I lose understanding.
The state of mind is such that faith and humility […]
Today’s Daily Reflection;
The Heart Of True Sobriety
“We find that no one need have difficulty with the spirituality of the program. Willingness, honesty and open-mindedness are the essentials of recovery. But these are indispensable.” Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 570
And we are then offered three questions:
Am I honest enough to accept myself as I am and let this […]
Having read yesterday’s Daily Reflections and seeing the results of letting go…
“Now I was stuck on Step Six and, in despair, I picked up the Big Book and read this passage. I was outside, praying for willingness, when I raised my eyes and saw a huge bird rising up in the sky. I watched it […]
Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery.
