February 4th
“True humility and an open mind can lead us to faith, and every A.A. meeting is an assurance that God will restore us to sanity if we rightly relate ourselves to Him.”
Thought for the Day – “Rightly Relating my-self”
I began talking to myself in elementary school. I believed everything my mind said and left to my own devices, I still do.
Imagine if my mind had told me that I can’t trust everything it says….
As a result of life events, viewed through the lens of the family disease of alcoholism, I have a hurt mind and ‘hurt people hurt people’. The events of life are not our fault nor is the disease. They are however, my responsibility.
So I begin now. Instead of talking to me, I talk to God. I am an argument. When I rightly relate my-self to Him, there is no argument.
Contemplation for the Day
Can I talk to my higher power instead of talking to my-self?
Prayer for the Day
God, please help me be with you all day today.
One thought on “Every AA meeting is proof”
Loved “I am an argument” — happening now and waiting to happen. It seems to be the fundamental human stance toward God, intensified but not originated by family dysfunction and alcoholic disease.
