> June 12: We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.
>
> 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
>
> When we came into A.A., we made a tremendous discovery. We found that we were sick persons rather than moral lepers. We were not such odd ducks as we thought we were. We found other people who had the same illness that we had, who had been through the same experiences that we had been through. They had recovered. if they could do it, we could do it. Was hope born in me the day I walked into A.A.?

> "He that heareth these sayings and doeth them is like unto a man who built his house upon a rock and the rain descended and the floods came and the wind blew and beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock." When your life is built upon obedience to God and upon doing His will as you understand it, you will be steadfast and unmovable even in the midst of storms. The serene, steadfast, unmovable life - the rock home - is laid stone by stone - foundation, walls, and roof - by acts of obedience to the heavenly vision. The daily following of God's guidance and the daily doing of His will shall build your house upon a rock.

> We of A.A. obey spiritual principles, at first because we must, then because we ought to, & ultimately because we love the kind of life such obedience brings. Great suffering & great love are A.A.'s disciplinarians; we need no others.
