> September 10--If you are trying sincerely to serve God, you will have other and greater rewards than the world has to offer.

> This is September, the 9th month of the year;
> • The 9th Tradition: A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
> • The 9th Step: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
> • The 9th Promise: Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.

> Here are answers to the question of how a person can live without liquor and be happy: "The things we put in place of drinking are more than substitutes for it. One is the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this company, you find release from care, boredom, and worry. Your imagination will be fired. Life will mean something at last. The most satisfactory years of your existence lie ahead. Among other A.A.s you win make lifelong friends. You will be bound to them with new and wonderful ties." Does life mean something to me now?

> Do you want the full and complete satisfaction that you find in serving God and all the satisfactions of the world also? It is not easy to serve both God and the world. It is difficult to claim the rewards of both. If you work for God, you will still have great rewards in the world. But you must be prepared to sometimes stand apart from the world. You cannot always turn to the world and expect all the rewards that life has to offer. If you are trying sincerely to serve God, you will have other and greater rewards than the world has to offer.

> Prayer for the Day

> I pray that I may not expect too much from the world. I pray that I may also be content with the rewards that come from serving God.

> The following is Excerpt No. 160 from As Bill Sees It : “The Rationalizers and Self-Effacing”
>
> We alcoholics are the biggest rationalizers in the world. Fortified with the excuse that we are doing great things for A.A., we can, through broken anonymity, resume our old & disastrous pursuit of personal power & prestige, public honors, & money - the same implacable urges that, when frustrated, once caused us to drink.
