> May 11– Pray to God, but keep Moving
> This is May, the 5th month of the year;
> • The 5thTradition: Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
> • The 5th Step: Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
> • The 5th Promise: No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.

> We can depend on those members of any group who have gone all out for the program. They come to meetings. They work with other alcoholics. We don't have to worry about their slipping. They're loyal members of the group. I'm trying to be a loyal member of the group. When I'm tempted to take a drink, I tell myself that if I did I'd be letting down the other members who are the best friends I have. Am I going to let them down, if I can help it?

> Wherever there is true fellowship and love between people, God's spirit is always there as the Divine Third. In all human relationships, the Divine Spirit is what brings them together. When a life is changed through the channel of another person, it is God, the Divine Third, who always makes the change, using the person as a means. The moving power behind all spiritual things, all personal relationships between people is God, the Divine Third, who is always there. No personal relationships can be entirely right without the presence of God's spirit.

> I pray that I may be used as a channel by God's spirit. I pray that I may feel that the Divine Third is always there to help me.
