> Third, alcoholics recover their proper relationship with other people. They think less about themselves and more about others. They try to help other alcoholics. They make new friends so that they're no longer lonely. They try to live a life of service instead of selfishness. All their relationships with other people are improved. They solve their personality problems by recovering their personal integrity, their faith in a Higher Power, and their way of fellowship and service to others. Is my drinking problem solved as long as my personality problem is solved?

> Meditation for the Day

> All that depresses you, all that you fear, is really powerless to harm you. These things are but phantoms. So arise from earth's bonds, from depression, distrust, fear, and all that hinders your new life. Arise to beauty, joy, peace, and work inspired by love. Rise from death to life. You do not even need to fear death. All past sins are forgiven if you live and love and work with God. Let nothing hinder your new life. Seek to know more and more of that new way of living.

> I pray that I may let God live in me as I work for Him. I pray that I may go out into the sunlight and work with God.

> Prayer of an Unknown Confederate Soldier
>
> I asked God for strength, that I might achieve,
> I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey....
> I asked for health, that I might do greater things,
> I was given infirmity, that I might do better things...
> I asked for riches, that I might be happy,
> I was given poverty that I might be wise...
> I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life,
> I was given life, that I might enjoy all things...
> I got nothing that I asked for–
> but everything that I had hoped for.
> Almost despite myself, my unspoiled prayers were answered.
> I am among all men, most richly blessed.
