> By drinking, we escaped from boredom for a while. We almost forgot
> our troubles. But when we sobered up, our troubles were twice as
> bad. Drinking had only made them worse. In A.A., we really escape
> boredom. Nobody’s bored at an A.A. meeting. We stick around after
> it’s over and we hate to leave. Drinking gave us a temporary feelin
> g of importance. When we’re drinking, we kid ourselves into thinkin
> g we are somebody. We tell tall stories to build ourselves up. In
> A.A., we don’t want that kind of self-importance. We have real self
> -respect and honesty and humility. Have I found something much bett
> er and more satisfactory than drinking?

> I believe that my faith and God’s power can accomplish anything in h
> uman relationships [edit: including relationships with vendors!!!!].
> There is no limit to what these two things can do in this field.
> Only believe, and anything can happen. Saint Paul said, “I can do a
> ll things through Him who strengtheneth me.” All walls that divide
> you from other human beings can fall by your faith and God’s power.
> These are the two essentials. Everyone can be moved by these.

> Prayer for the Day

> I pray that I may try to strengthen my faith day by day. I pray
