“When I let go of that illusion, miracles happen.”

“I do not claim to have all the answers in spiritual matters, any more than I claimto have all the answers about alcoholism. There are others who are also engaged in a spiritual search. If I keep an open mind about what others have to say, I have much to gain. My sobriety is greatly enriched, and my practice of prayer & meditation much more fruitful when I use the 12 Step literature, practices of my Judeo-Christian tradition, and the resources of other religions. Today, I give thanks for the support from many different sources in staying away from the first drink and drug!

“Each new day brings an opportunity to do some little thing that will help to make a better World; that will bring God's kingdom a little nearer to being realized on earth. I can take each day's happenings as opportunities for something I can do for God. By offering this day's service to God, sharing in His work blessings will be present in all that I do. I do not have to do great things. I pray that I may do the next thing, the unselfish thing, the loving thing. I pray that to be content with doing small things, and to be connected with God’s Spirit.”
