> June 8: “Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.”
>
> This is June, the 6th month of the year;
> • The 6th Tradition: An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
> • The 6th Step: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
> • The 6th Promise: That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.

> A.A. Thought for the Day
> Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. We always get worse, never better. We are never cured. Our alcoholism can only be arrested. No matter how long we have been sober, if we try liquor again, we're as bad or worse than we ever were. There is no exception to this rule in the whole history of A.A. We can never recapture the good times of the past. They are gone forever. Will I try to recapture them?

> Today's Meditation:
> Your life has been given to you mainly for the purpose of training your soul. This life we live is not so much for the body as for the soul. We often choose the way of life that best suits the body, not the way that best suits the soul. God wants you to choose what suits the soul as well as the body. Accept this belief and a wonderful molding of character is the result. Reject it and God's purpose for your life is frustrated, and your spiritual progress is delayed. Your soul is being trained by the good you choose. Thus the purpose of your life is being accomplished.
>
> Today's Prayer:
> I pray that I may choose what is good for my soul. I pray that I may realize God's purpose for my life.
