> September 24–carrying the AA principles wherever you go
>
> 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 w
> ill change.
>
> A.A. Thought for the Day
> Let us continue with Step Twelve. We must practice these principles
> in all our affairs. This part of the twelfth step must not be
> overlooked. It is the carrying on of the whole program. We do not
> just practice these principles in regard to our drinking problem. We
> practice them in all our affairs. We do not give one compartment of
> our lives to God and keep the other compartments to ourselves. We
> give our whole lives to God and we try to do His will in every
> respect. "Herein lies our growth, herein lies all the promise of the
> future, an ever-widening horizon." Do I carry the AA. principles
> with me wherever I go?
>
> Meditation for the Day
>
> "Lord, to whom shall we go but to Thee? Thou hast the words of
> eternal life." The words of eternal life are the words from God
> controlling your true being, con- trolling the real spiritual you.
> They are the words from God which are heard by you in your heart and
> mind when these are wide open to His spirit. These are the words of
> eternal life which express the true way you are to live. They say to
> you in the stillness of your heart and mind and soul: "Do this and
> live."
>
> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may follow the dictates of my conscience. I pray
> that I may follow the inner urging of my soul.

> The wonderful energy the twelfth step releases, by which it carries

> magnificent reality of A.A.
> Twelve & Twelve p-109
>
> Never talk down to an alcoholic from any moral or spiritual hilltop;
> simply lay out the kit of spiritual tools for his inspection. Show
> him how they worked with you. Offer him friendship & fellowship.
