> November 29–AA Bond through prayer; power of truth
> This is November, the 11th month of the year;
> • The 11th Tradition reads: Our public relations policy is ba
> sed on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain per
> sonal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
> • The 11th Step: Sought through prayer and meditation to impr
> ove our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying onl
> y for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
> • The 11th Promise: We will intuitively know how to handle si
> tuations which used to baffle us.

> The A.A. way is the way of sobriety, and yet there are slips. Why do
> these slips occur? Why don't we all accept A.A. and stay sober from
> then on? There are many reasons, but it has been proved without
> exception that once we have become alcoholics we can never drink
> successfully again. This has never been disproved by any case we
> know of. Many alcoholics have tried drinking after a period of
> sobriety from a few days to a few years and no one that we know of
> has been successful in becoming a normal drinker. Could I be the
> only exception to this rule?

> Meditation for the Day

> "We are gathered together in Thy name." First, we are gathered
> together, bound by a common loyalty to God and to each other. Then,
> when this condition has been fulfilled, God is present with us.
> Then, when God is there and one with us, we voice a common prayer.
> Then it follows that our prayer will be answered according to God's
> will. Then, when our prayer is answered, we are bound together in a
> lasting fellowship of the spirit.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may be loyal to God and to others. I pray that my life
> today may be lived close to His and to theirs.

>
> How truth makes us free is something that we A.A.'s can well
> understand. It cut the shackles that once bound us to alcohol. It
> continues to release us from conflicts & miseries beyond reckoning;
> it banishes fear & isolation. The unity of our Fellowship, the love
> we cherish for each other, the esteem in which the world holds us -
> all of these are products of the truth which, under God, we have
> been privileged to perceive.
