> March 23: Am I receiving strength from the fellowship with other AA. members?
> This is March, the 3rd month of the year;
> • The 3rd Tradition: The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.
> • The 3rd Step: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
> • The 3rd Promise: We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.

> Strength comes from the fellowship you find when you come into A.A. just being with men and women who have found the way out gives you a feeling of security. You listen to the speakers, you talk with other members, and you absorb the atmosphere of confidence and hope that you find in the place. Am I receiving strength from the fellowship with other AA. members?

> Meditation for the Day

> God is with you, to bless and help you. His spirit is all around you. Waver not in your faith or in your prayers. All power is the Lord's. Say that to yourself often and steadily. Say it until your heart sings with joy for the safety and personal power that it means to you. Say it until the very force of the utterance drives back and puts to naught all the evils against you. Use it as a battle cry. All power is the Lord's. Then you will pass on to victory over all your sins and temptations, and you will begin to live a victorious life.

> I pray that with strength from God I may lead an abundant life. I pray that I may lead a life of victory.

Editor’s note: This book was compiled by Richmond Walker (1892–1965) of the Group at Daytona Beach, Florida. I get the text from the following website: http://www.anonymityone.com/h24/0403EN.htm Note 4 numbers after “h24/”: the first two are the day of the month and the second two are the month.

> The following is Excerpt No. 9 from As Bill Sees It : “Group and World-wide Community”
>
> The moment twelfth step work forms a group, a discovery is made - that most individuals cannot recover unless there is a group. Realization dawns on each member that he is but a small part of a great whole; that no personal sacrifice is to great for preservation of the fellowship. He learns that the clamor of desires & ambitions within him must be silenced whenever these could damage the group.
>
> It becomes plain that the group must survive or the individual will not.

> Twelve & Twelve p-130
>
> The lone member at sea, the A.A. at war in a far land - all these members know that they belong to A.A.'s world-wide community, that theirs is only a physical separation, that their fellows may be as near as the next port of call. Ever so
> importantly, they are certain that God's grace is just as much with them on the high seas or the lonely outpost as it is with them at home.
