DAILY REFLECTIONS AA FEBRUARY 24TH PROFESSIONAL

Even more loudly, the socialite (or Park Avenue stumblebum) said the same–so did the artists and the professional people, the rich, the poor, the religious, the agnostic, the Indians and the Eskimos, the veterans, and the prisoners.īut nowadays all of these, and legions more, soberly talk about how very much alike all of us alcoholics are when we admit that the chips are finally down. This process of identification and transmission has gone on and on. But as the communication was perfected, mostly by the women themselves, the picture changed. Like the “high bottoms,” the women said they were different A.A. brought permanent sobriety to even one alcoholic woman. In the beginning, it was four whole years before A.A. I pray that I may learn that trying to do His will is perfect freedom. I pray that, in spite of my material limitations, I may follow God’s way. I am in uncharted waters, limited by my temporal and spatial life, but unlimited in my spiritual life. I must go just one step at a time, because God does not grant me a longer view. But in temporal and material things, I must submit to limitations.

I know that the vision and power that I receive from God are limitless, as far as spiritual things are concerned. There’s only one way to get out of that blind alley way of living and that’s to change your thinking. And no matter how many disastrous experiences they have had with drinking, they still do it over and over again.

They still want everything for themselves. They’re too sensitive and too easily hurt. They’re running away from life and won’t face things as they are. *****************************************Īlcoholics who are living in a blind alley refuse to be really honest with themselves or with other people. The miracle of service is this: when I use what I have, I find there is more available to me than I realized before. Are the ashtrays full? Do I have hands and feet to empty them? Suddenly I’m involved! The best speaker may make the worst coffee the member who’s best with newcomers may be unable to read the one willing to clean up may make a mess of the bank account – yet every one of these people and jobs is essential to an active group. I understand that service is a vital part of recovery but I often wonder, “What can I do?” Simply start with what I have today! I look around to see where there is a need. “Faith without works is dead.” … To be helpful is our only aim. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed Your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.There is action and more action.

Would that today you might fast so as to make your voice heard on high! Is this the manner of fasting I wish, of keeping a day of penance: That a man bow his head like a reed and lie in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own. Yes, your fast ends in quarreling and fighting, striking with wicked claw.

''Why do we fast, and you do not see it? afflict ourselves, and you take no note of it?'' Lo, on your fast day you carry out your own pursuits, and drive all your laborers. They seek me day after day, and desire to know my ways, Like a nation that has done what is just and not abandoned the law of their God They ask me to declare what is due them, pleased to gain access to God. Thus says the Lord GOD: Cry out full-throated and unsparingly, lift up your voice like a trumpet blast Tell my people their wickedness, and the house of Jacob their sins.
