> September 13-No one is too discredited, nor has sunk too low, to be welcomed cordially into A.A., if he or she means business.
>
> 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.

> "No one is too discredited, nor has sunk too low, to be welcomed cordially into A.A., if he or she means business. Social distinctions, petty rivalries and jealousies are laughed out of countenance. Being wrecked in the same vessel, being restored and united under one God, with hearts and minds attuned to the welfare of others, the things that matter so much to some people no longer signify much to us. In A.A. we have true democracy and true brotherhood." Has A.A. taught me to be truly democratic?
> Meditation for the Day
>
> When you call on God in prayer to help you overcome weakness, sorrow, pain, discord, and conflict, God never fails in some way to answer the appeal. When you are in need of strength for yourself or for the help of some other person, call on God in prayer. The power you need will come simply, naturally, and forcefully. Pray to God not only when you need help, but also just to commune with Him. The spirit of prayer can alter an atmosphere from one of discord to one of reconciliation. It will raise the quality of thought and word and bring order out of chaos.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may bring peace where there is discord. I pray that I may bring conciliation where there is conflict.

> The following is Excerpt No. 66 from As Bill Sees It : “For Emergencies Only?”
> Whether we had been believers or unbelievers, we began to get over the idea that the Higher Power was a sort of bush-league pinch hitter, to be called upon only in an emergency.
>
> The notion that we would still live our own lives, God helping a little now & then, began to evaporate. Many of us who had thought ourselves religious awoke to the limitations of this attitude. Refusing to place God first, we had deprived ourselves of His help.
>
> But now the words "Of myself I am nothing, the Father doeth the works" began to carry bright promise & meaning.
