> • The 10th Tradition reads: Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
> • The 10th Step: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
> • The 10th Promise: Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.

> A.A. work is one hundred percent voluntary. It depends on each and every one of our members to volunteer to do his or her share. Newcomers can sit on the sidelines until they have got over their nervous- ness and confusion. They have a right to be helped by all, until they can stand on their own feet. But the time inevitably comes when they have to speak up and volunteer to do their share in meetings and in twelfth- step work. Until that time comes, they are not a vital part of A.A. They are only in the process of being assimilated. Has my time come to volunteer?

> God's kingdom on earth is growing slowly, like a seed in the ground. In the growth of His kingdom, there is always progress among the few who are out ahead of the crowd. Keep striving for something better and there can be no stagnation in your life. Eternal life, abundant life is yours for the seeking. Do not misspend time over past failures. Count the lessons learned from failures as rungs upon the ladder of progress. Press onward toward the goal.

> Prayer for the Day

> I pray that I may be willing to grow. I pray that I may 'keep stepping up on the rungs of the ladder of life.

> The following is Excerpt No. 75 from As Bill Sees It : “Losing Financial Fears”
>
>
> When a job still looked like a mere means of getting money rather than an opportunity for service, when the acquisition of money for financial independence looked more important than a right dependence upon God, we were the victims of unreasonable fears. & these were fears which would make a serene & useful existence, at any financial level, quite impossible.
>
> But as time passed we found that with the help of A.A.'s Twelve Steps we could lose those fears, no matter what our material prospects were. We could cheerfully perform humble labor without worrying about tomorrow. If our circumstances happened to be good, we no longer dreaded a change for the worse, for we had learned that these troubles could be turned into great values, for ourselves & for others.
