> 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

> A.A. Thought for the Day
>
> Having got this far, shall we pause and ask ourselves some searching
> questions? We need to check up on ourselves periodically. Just how
> good an A.A. am I? Am I attending meetings regularly? Am I doing my
> share to carry the load? When there is something to be done, do I
> volunteer? Do I speak at meetings when asked, no matter how nervous
> I am? Do I accept each opportunity to do twelfth-step work as a
> challenge? Do I give freely of my time and money? Am I trying to
> spread A.A. wherever I go? Is my daily life a demonstration of A.A.
> principles? Am I a good A.A.?
>
> Meditation for the Day
>
> How do I get strength to be effective and to accept responsibility?
> By asking the Higher Power for the strength I need each day. It has
> been proved in count- less lives that for every day I live, the
> necessary power shall be given me. I must face each challenge that
> comes' to me during the day, sure that God will give me the strength
> to face it. For every task that is given me, there is also given me
> all the power necessary for the performance of that task. I do not
> need to hold back.
>
> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may accept every task as a challenge. I know I cannot
> wholly fail if God is with me.

> Many oldsters who have put our A.A. "booze cure" to severe but

> attain this, we must develop real maturity & balance (which is to
> say, humility) in our relations with ourselves, with our fellows, &

> Let A.A. never be a closed corporation; let us never deny our
> experience, for whatever it may be worth, to the world around us.
> Let our individual members heed the call to every field of human
> endeavor. Let them carry the experience & spirit of A.A. into all
> these affairs for whatever good they may accomplish. For not only
> has God saved us from alcoholism; the world has received us back
> into its citizenship.
