> Thought for the Day
> Step One is, “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol–that our
> lives had become unmanageable.” This step states the membership req
> uirement of A.A. We must admit that our lives are disturbed. We mu
> st accept the fact that we are helpless before the power of alcohol.
> We must admit that we are licked as far as drinking is concerned a
> nd that we need help. We must be willing to accept the bitter fact
> that we cannot drink like normal people. And we must make, as grace
> fully as possible, a surrender to the inevitable fact that we must s
> top drinking. Is it difficult for me to admit that I am different f
> rom normal drinkers?
>
> Meditation for the Day
> “Show us the way, O Lord, and let us walk in Thy paths.” There
> seems to be a right way to live and a wrong way. You can make a pra
> ctical test. When you live the right way, things seem to work out w
> ell for you. You seem to take out of life about what you put into i
> t. If you disobey the laws of nature, the chances are that you will
> be unhealthy. If you disobey the spiritual and moral laws, the cha
> nces are that you will be unhappy. By following the laws of nature
> and the spiritual laws of honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love,
> you can expect to be reasonably healthy and happy.
>
> Prayer for the Day
> I pray that I may live the right way. I pray that I may follow the
> path that leads to a better life.
