I can relate to what is said in today’s reflection…
“If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing.”
It adds;
“When I had taken my Fifth Step, I became aware that all my defects of character stemmed from my need to feel secure and loved.”
And that’s where […]
For today - I don’t want to forget that one day at a time anything and everything can and will happen and it is not required that I develop some lame excuse to give myself permission to pick up a drink…
Therefore, for today, I am feeling not very faithful. It doesn’t help that as I […]
Reading today’s “Daily Reflections“ I believe I am reading Dr. Bob’s words…
First Things First - Dr. Bob speaks of practice and I imagine that this was passed down to the point when it eventually came to me because my sponsor pointed out to me the only way I’d become good at anything was to practice […]
“Fear knocked at the door; faith answered; no one was there.”
Just my personal opinion now - if I’m afforded the luxury of having time to think, even momentarily, at what appears fearful, it is one thing. On the other hand, if I have no opportunity to consider, am taken completely by surprise instantly, it is […]

“A New Man”
“I tried to help this man. It was a humiliating experience. No one enjoys being a complete failure; it plays havoc with the ego. Nothing seemed to work. I brought him to meetings, and he sat there in a […]

Footprints In The Sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed there was two sets of footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along […]
“How It Works” pgs. 62-63
“First of all, we had to quit playing God. It didn’t work.
