Today is a breathtaking life day for me. 16 years ago I put down alcohol for good because it was poisoning and killing my body. It’s harder than it sounds. Alcohol doesn’t just physically kill you. It emotionally and spiritually kills you when your addicted to it. I’m so grateful God removed the craving of alcohol from me. The gifts of sobriety are never ending and precious. I’m so grateful for my husband, my daughter, and my life every day sober. My daughter Charlee is my true gift of sobriety. She would not be here had I never got sober. I’ll choose sober any day over drinking my life away.

A.A. Thought For The Day

The A.A. program is a way of life. It’s a way of living
and we have to learn to live the program if we’re going
to stay sober. The twelve steps in the book are like
guide posts. They point the direction in which we have to
go. But each member of the group has to find his own best
way of living the program. We don’t all do it exactly
alike. Whether by quiet times in the morning, meetings,
working with others, or spreading the word, we have to
learn to live the program. Has A.A. become my regular,
natural way of living?

Meditation For The Day

I will relax and not get tense. I will have no fear,
because everything will work out in the end. I will learn
soul-balance and poise in a vacillating, changing world.
I will claim God’s power and use it because if I do not
use it, it will be withdrawn. As long as I get back to God
and replenish my strength after each task, no work can be
too much.

Prayer For The Day

I pray that I may relax and that God’s strength will be
given to me. I pray that I may subject my will to God’s
will and be free from all tenseness.
